Welcome to the Department of Biology at Colorado State University. Our internationally-recognized research and education programs focus on organisms, diving into mechanistic detail about how they work, or stepping back to consider how they interact with each other and with their environment. From cells to the biosphere, we make discoveries about fundamental questions in Biology, and we use this new knowledge to make the world a better place. CSU Biology is a place where everyone is welcome to indulge their curiosity about the living world.

Biologists unveil clues to evolutionary origins of brown-colored algae for health, biofuels research
Brown algae are brown because they have evolved a special set of pigments that absorb even more light for photosynthesis than green plants and green algae do.
CSU offers new clues to how plants retain healthy genomes, avoid mitochondrial disease
A new study sheds light on how plants, however rarely, experience mutations in their mitochondrial genomes. Unlike humans, plants are able to quickly fix these mutations and not pass them on to their progeny.
Ram Legacy: Patty and Peggy Contreras
Scholarships helped Patty and Peggy Contreras go to college – now they want to level the playing field for other students by giving back.
