专业概况

在这里学什么？

Genetics and cell biology is the science of heredity. It is studied at the level of whole organisms (classical or transmission genetics), the DNA itself (molecular genetics), or whole populations (population and evolutionary genetics).

Geneticists use molecular approaches to investigate how genes determine physical traits, including susceptibility to diseases and inherited disorders. Cell biology focuses on the structure and function of the components of living cells (such as the cell membrane, the flagella responsible for cell movements, cell differentiation in developing organisms, abnormal cell division, and metabolic interactions between cell compartments).

The genetics and cell biology major at WSU offers a specialization track for pre-medicine students and a minor in genetic counseling that prepares students for entry into Masters programs in this field.

Strengths of the program

Learn research techniques and operate advanced equipment. Undertake a research project of your own with the guidance of a renowned faculty researcher. The prestigious STARS program helps ambitious, high-achieving students get an early start on research and earn their Ph.D. in biochemistry, genetics and cell biology, or microbiology up to two years faster. You can join a math, science, and engineering community residence hall at WSU Pullman—share classes with your neighbors, study together, get free tutoring, and use the hall’s computer lab. Individualize your course of study within the School of Molecular Biosciences. Study with faculty noted for their work on the genetics and cell biology of model organisms such as zebrafish, worms, yeast, mice, fruit flies, and archaea and bacterial species. Faculty interests in reproductive biology provide opportunities for students interested in exploring human genetics.

Genetics and cell biology facilities

Genetics and cell biology students have access to the following outstanding facilities:

Equipment for ultracentrifugation, recombinant DNA techniques, HPLC, protein analysis and purification, DNA sequencing and synthesizing, and more Bioanalytical Laboratory Electron Microscopy Center Nuclear Radiation Center Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Center X-ray Crystallography Laboratory Owen Science and Engineering Library, the largest of its kind in the Northwest

Careers in genetics and cell biology

Genetics and cell biology majors have wide and diverse career opportunities in the life sciences.

Career possibilities include technical positions in pharmaceutical, food, and biotechnology industries; private or governmental laboratories; and nonprofit institutions such as clinical and hospital laboratories or institutes that focus on research.

Graduates are also prepared to pursue professional degrees in human medicine, dentistry, veterinary science, and other fields.

Advanced degrees can lead to work teaching at the college level or conducting basic or applied research in the government, higher education, or private industry. Other careers include consulting, management, and administration.
