Exploring genomes to ecosystems, USC’s BA in Biological Sciences emphasizes inquiry-based learning. Students deploy CRISPR-Cas9 edits in zebrafish embryos, crunch RNA-Seq datasets on USC’s HPC cluster, and model coastal kelp-forest resilience using GIS. Field stations on Catalina Island enable marine epigenetics research, while sustainability electives connect synthetic biology to circular-economy bioplastics (CEB). Communication workshops hone grant-writing and SciComm flair for NSF-GRFP pursuits.
