The Department of Biology at Drexel features state-of-the-art facilities, hands-on career and research experiences, and renowned faculty at the forefront of cellular and molecular biology, genomics and more.

Students learn through hands-on experiences gained in and outside of the classroom. As leaders in STEM education, from research in faculty labs, to co-op positions with the Children’s Hospital of Pennsylvania, to study abroad around the globe, our undergraduates have many opportunities to experience real-world career options before they graduate.

Inclusive Culture and Community Pledge

The Department of Biology is deeply committed to upholding and encouraging Drexel University's founding mission of inclusive education. Our department is aware of systemic injustices that disadvantage historically excluded groups within science, and we are committed to educating ourselves further about these disparities in order to create more equitable systems. Our department embraces all facets of diversity including but not limited to race, color, sex, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, language/ linguistic ability, visa status, religion, creed, age, class, socioeconomic status, military status and disability status.

We stand firmly against discrimination while simultaneously working towards promoting a culture of belonging and inclusivity within our department, the College of Arts and Sciences and across Drexel University. Our differences serve both to enrich and connect us. Acknowledging and celebrating diversity provides the only path forward in building a strong community – one that will flourish through open dialogue, meaningful collaboration, and shared intellectual curiosity. To achieve these goals, we strive to be a welcoming, accepting and malleable department that can grow and adapt to best serve our members and our community.
