“There is nothing, to me, more fascinating about the secrets of living things. All the cells in the body of a fish or a worm or a mouse have already figured out how to divide, move, metabolize and communicate. It is up to us, the biologists, to figure out how they do it.”
Biology
The Program in Biology at NYU Abu Dhabi is highly diverse, drawing its strength from world-class, interdisciplinary and collaborative faculty, who are both exceptional scientists and fantastic teachers. Our research strengths span a wide range of topics at all levels of biological organization — from molecules to cells and organisms to ecosystems — utilizing state-of-the art experimental methodologies. Discoveries from NYUAD's biology research teams have broad implications for understanding the fundamental properties of biological systems, complex diseases, behavior, and environmental issues.
