| WELCOME!
Laurier Biology is an exceptional centre of learning and research, strongly committed to meeting the challenges of contemporary biology by fostering the integration of all levels of biological organization from molecules, organelles, cells, tissues and organs to organisms, populations, species, and ecosystems. Rather than “taking apart” the complex interactions that occur in and among biological systems and studying them separately, we aim towards a “putting together” approach meant to reflect better the intricate biological reality of life on earth. Teaching and research in biological systems and their interactions are conducted under three major interlocking interdisciplinary themes: A) cell, molecular and microbial biology and genetics; B) biodiversity, evolution and ecology; C) physiology and toxicology. Our graduates are noted for their ability to identify and articulate the most pressing biological issues facing society, to pinpoint the key elements of those issues, and to devise appropriate and effective strategies to tackle the necessary research as well as to implement the resulting solutions. Our graduates are full, active, and eager participants in their society. CORE VALUES!

People at Laurier
The ambitious goal of having an overall human genome sequence available
resulted in the development of better technologies for DNA sequencing.
Microorganisms were also put into genomic projects and biological
databases are continuously inundated with huge amounts of information.
My main goal is to use genome sequences to understand how genes are
organized into functional modules, which genes keep their functions
across organisms, and which are sources for functional innovation.
Dr. Gabriel Moreno-Hagelsieb
SHARCNET Chair; Associate Professor: Biology
