The Institute of Molecular Biology at the University of Oregon is an interdisciplinary research community, founded in 1959, dedicated to investigating biological questions at the molecular level. Our collaborative and interactive Institute brings together—from the Departments of Biology, Chemistry and Biochemistry, and Physics—scientists using diverse approaches and state-of-the-art facilities. The rich research environment provides exceptional training opportunities for young scientists. To join the IMB as a graduate student, see the Graduate Admissions page.
