The Department of Molecular Genetics investigates the molecular, cellular and genetic mechanisms that underlie basic biological processes in complex organisms, such as human, mouse and fruit fly, at the level of single cell organisms, including bacteria and yeast.
A wide range of biological questions and hypotheses are addressed in the fields of development, systems biology, genomics, cell biology, and mammalian genetics. In addition, studies in the fields of bioinformatics and computational biology provide powerful genome-wide approaches to modeling biological processes and their evolution.
