Ph.D.Theoretical and Evolutionary Biology

Graduate profile

This program aims to uncover and formulate general concepts and logical relationships characterizing life as opposed to non-living systems. Attention is also given to the history of biology as a scientific discipline. Philosophical exploration of certain topics related to living organisms is also within the scope of theoretical biology. Additionally, mathematical modeling of biological systems' behavior at various levels of organization falls within this broad definition. These areas generally defy easy classification within traditional disciplines taught in biological departments.
