SFU Biology

The Department of Biological Sciences is a broad-based department, with research and teaching expertise ranging from the study of the molecular biology and physiology of cells (Cells, Molecules, & Physiology Undergraduate Stream), to the study of the interaction of organisms with one another and the environment in which they live (Ecology, Evolution, & Conservation Undergraduate Stream).

Our Department comprises almost 50 faculty and 20 staff. We are home to over 800 Biology majors and 150 graduate students who flourish in the highly interactive and personalized environment which characterizes our Department, and which contributes to the unique character of Simon Fraser University.

We are located in the Shrum Science Centre on the Burnaby campus of SFU. For a campus map and directions for getting to SFU go to: www.sfu.ca/about/maps.html.
