Overview

You’ll also gain extensive experience in testing your own hypotheses and designing your own experiments. You will carry out scientific investigations in the lab, the field and the classroom.

Pomona College’s Biology majors pursue graduate work in biology or the health professions, or enter careers in government, business, law, journalism, secondary school teaching, environmental consulting, conservation organizations or biotechnology.

Faculty & Teaching

The Biology Department’s faculty members are actively engaged in research with students. The type of questions they ask are:

Why do some organisms have a modified genetic code? Which proteins are responsible for Drosophila development? How do microbes function in inhospitable environments? What are the effects of habitat fragmentation on plant-pollinator interactions? How do plants withstand drought? How do neurons find their synaptic targets? How is climate change impacting marine food webs? How does biology influence gender identity? What genes control cnidarian development? How are invasive species influencing local plant and insect communities? How do embryos build protective extracellular barriers? How does the immune response differ in mice that are susceptible to Mouse AIDS from those that are resistant? How has selection influenced the physiology of organisms that have made the transition from marine to terrestrial life?
