生物与医学本科课程（UPBM）结合了艺术与科学学院以及医学与牙科学院的资源，为本科生提供课程，讲座，实验室工作，专业研讨会和研究经验。UPBM成立于1980年代初，是学习生物学的大学生在医学中心获得研究机会的门户。从那时起，该课程已获得认可，现已成为校园内最受欢迎的本科课程之一。分子遗传学是罗切斯特生物科学学位课程的专业之一。结合分子生物学和遗传学，我们的学生在分子水平上研究基因的结构和功能。他们还可以与一流的教师一起学习，同时可以访问River校园和医学中心的最新资源。
Molecular genetics is one of the specialties within Rochester's biological sciences degree offerings. Combining molecular biology and genetics, our students study the structure and function of genes at a molecular level. <br>The University of Rochester's Department of Biology has long been recognized as a leader in genetics research. While our faculty and students are united by a common interest in genetics, we address questions spanning a wide range of topics in molecular, cell, developmental, computational, and evolutionary biology Our faculty, students, and graduates are inquisitive, resourceful problem solvers who go on to contribute to the scientific and medical communities, as well as to areas such as law, business, and technology. Our department is committed to providing the best possible environment for all its members to learn, perform research, and work. This commitment includes cutting-edge research and an intellectually stimulating atmosphere as well as a safe and inclusive space.<br> We in the Department of Biology value integrity and workplace inclusivity. We strongly believe that our ability to excel in research and educating students is deeply rooted in engaging a diverse community. Therefore, we welcome and value students, faculty and staff who represent all axes of diversity. We are committed to providing a safe and welcoming environment for everyone - including undergraduate and graduate students, researchers of all levels, staff, and faculty - to learn, work, and go about their daily business.
