Key Features
Our faculty's research is highly impactful, and we are internationally recognized for innovative work, often covering many branches of knowledge within genetics and integrating with “non-genetic” fields of biology. Our investigators collaborate often, with others at the University of Arizona and with others across the United States and throughout the world.
The study of genes, their functions, their interactions, and their inheritance will prepare you for a wide variety of possible careers. Your training at the Genetics program from University of Arizona will prepare you for life-long learning and high impact research in all of the biological and biomedical fields because the concepts of genetics inform all other areas of research.
