Students in a Biological Sciences lab

Our division is at the forefront of a revolutionary moment in the life sciences. Berkeley’s climate of rigorous and creative cross-disciplinary exchange sets the stage for critical advancements. Tools such as CRISPR genome engineering, next-generation imaging, and even the natural history museum collections are among the signature resources that unlock discovery in previously unimaginable ways.

Our success begins and ends with people – the undergraduates, graduate students, and faculty in our classrooms and labs. We strive to ensure that students from all backgrounds have every opportunity to transform raw curiosity into skills that sustain a lifetime of scientific exploration.
