The Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth has nucleated a Department of Molecular and Systems Biology that is poised to exploit and contribute to the explosive growth in information and its application to solving problems in biological systems. The department is piloted by salient and similarly minded research faculty with expertise in genetics, physiology, cancer biology, neuroscience, and pharmacology. This is this new Department of Molecular and Systems Biology.

Todd Miller, PhD: Lighting a New Path in Breast Cancer Research
His mission is figuring out how to kill breast cancer cells by manipulating the complicated signals that turn their growth on and off. This complexity is what initially attracted Miller to biology. "Other sciences like physics or chemistry were bounded by hard and fast rules, but biological systems are so infinitely complex it feels like there is more room for exploration."
Associate Professor Yolanda Sanchez recognized by Graduate Studies Faculty Mentoring Award
The Faculty Mentoring Award is given annually to a member of the Dartmouth faculty who exemplifies a deep commitment to fostering the professional and personal development of graduate students.
