The Biological Sciences Department researches and teaches how the collective behavior of molecules and cells forms the basis of life. This is where science breaks disciplinary boundaries against a backdrop of cutting-edge biological research.

A natural science with a broad scope

Biological Sciences at UAH can be found in the Shelby Center for Science and Technology in classrooms, labs, and a rooftop greenhouse -- as well as the City of Huntsville’s greenways, the Hays Nature Preserve native species re-establishment project, and the Dauphin Island Sea Lab along the Gulf Coast.
