Our Research

Substantial external funding and state of the art equipment enable cutting edge research in two broad foci relating to (1) molecular and cellular understanding of biological processes to identify therapeutic targets relevant to reproductive health, aging, heart disease, infectious disease, and cancer; and (2) ecological and environmental understanding of processes at the organism and ecosystem level in a world of changing climate, urbanization, human impacts, and invasive species.

Hear from Richard Anderson, a Ph.D. Biology alumnus

"When I came to Cleveland State, I was just like, look, I just really want to be somewhere where I can just see the professors every single day and just interact with them, 'cause that's going to be the best way for me to learn. I have to learn by talking to the person who knows the information. When I came here, I learned very quickly that that's how CSU operated specifically, our biology department."

"Research definitely has helped me grow. I have a better understanding of what environmental science is and the specific topics I research. It definitely gives you a better understanding and makes you feel like you're involved and more important at an institution like CSU."
