GCD
The Department of Genetics, Cell Biology, and Development spans a broad spectrum of biological disciplines, including the storage and expression of information (genetics), its translation into the workings of individual cells (cell biology), and the assembly of cells into tissues and organ systems (development). Here you will find a collection of news, features and opportunities for and about GCD.
Worth Their Teaching Weight in Gold
CBS Student Board honors faculty making big impacts in undergraduate research and education.
The CBS Student Board hosted the annual Golden Pipette Awards March 2 at TCF Bank Stadium, honoring faculty who make major impacts on undergraduates in the college. From most engaging to best academic mentor and CBS Super Fan, the Student Board and students in the college noted some of the faculty that make a difference for them. The 2017 Golden Pipette winners are:
CBSpotlight: Heather Zierhut
Fun With Nucleic Acids
CBS faculty member Aaron Engelhart has some big plans for some of biology's most versatile molecules.
