Interdisciplinary Courses
and Initiatives
In an effort to
forge new and stronger links between Biology and other disciplines our 1998
and 2002 grants focused on developing a vibrant program in Biological
Mathematics and strengthening our interdisciplinary Neuroscience
major. These initiatives included
new faculty positions in Biological Mathematics and substantial curricular
changes associated with Biological Mathematics and Neuroscience. In addition, a new undergraduate Applied Science minor
has been established. These programs
have been remarkably successful and popular with students.
The 2006 HHMI grant to
W&M continues the emphasis on interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary
approaches to science education and research. For additional detail on
interdisciplinary offerings and initiatives, follow the links provided
below.

In addition,
opportunities are available for students to work on innovative projects in
the field of bioinformatics with Incogen, a Williamsburg-based
bioinformatics company involved in developing software for a variety of
applications including mass spectrometry.
