Biology

Biology at NYU Abu Dhabi bridges molecular, environmental, and genomic sciences to explore life across scales. Faculty investigate fundamental processes in cells, genomes, and organisms, while applying these insights to urgent challenges in health, sustainability, and conservation. Research ranges from uncovering mechanisms of disease and regeneration to examining how organisms adapt to extreme environments and how ecosystems respond to human impact. By combining advanced genomics, bioengineering, and fieldwork, biologists at NYUAD generate knowledge that informs medicine, environmental policy, and our understanding of life’s complexity.
