These are exciting times in biology, and San Diego State University is a stimulating place for biological study. Recent breakthroughs in genetic engineering, genomics, immunology, and new ideas in evolution, systematics and ecology have all contributed to an atmosphere of enthusiasm and innovation. These subjects and many more can be found in the research programs in the Biology Department, where the curriculum spans the entire spectrum of life, from DNA to entire evolutionary lineages, and from viruses to fir trees to whales.
Microbiology is the study of bacteria, viruses, yeasts, molds, algae and protozoa. These microorganisms are important in their effect on the health and well being of all living creatures, including humans, and they are the key to the biological revolution in genetic engineering. In addition, they are vital to environmental science, food production, and the marine environment.
