Why Biology at Minot State University? --the students --the faculty --the science Student engagement Student independence student career success GRADUATE SCHOOL Master’s and Doctorate --Molecular Biology --Ecology and Evolution --Plant pathology --Wildlife biology High School teacher Wildlife biologist --USFWS --Montana GF --NDGF HEALTH SCIENCES Dental school Veterinary school Physical Therapy school Medical school Podiatry school Optometry school Chiropractic college Laboratory technician Clinical lab scientist Success in science makes better professionals The faculty: --more than 60 reviewed publications, cited in over 750 other publications --more than 2.5 million dollars in grants --In 2005, two faculty featured in Science, the premier journal for scientists --students value the time, energy, expertise and resources that we bring North Dakota Flora Ecology Dr. Ursula Schittko Molecular Biology Phylogeny Heidi Super Molecular Genetics and Cell Biology “We use human cell lines and many molecular biology techniques to study how chromosomes break and join to other chromosomes. This is one way in which genes become abnormal and lead to cancer, e.g, in leukemias.” Dr. Alexandra Deufel Functional Morphology of Snakes Dr. Paul Lepp -the Oral Ecology of Microorganisms “I study the relationships between the oral microbial community and disease using DNA based techniques.” Dr. Christopher Beachy We study the evolutionary ecology and functional genomics of metamorphosis and how pesticides affect it and how this connects to freshwater and human health issues Dr. Christopher Keller We use electrophysiological and molecular genetic techniques to investigate the mechanisms of growth in plants.
