The Cell and Organismal Biology (COB) section encompasses research groups that cover a variety of biological systems, from molecules and cells to organisms and ecosystems. With a focus on both basic and applied science, we investigate mechanisms and interactions within molecular and cellular biology, animal and plant physiology, and environmental toxicology.
