In this report, you will find groundbreaking research that shapes the future of California and beyond, from protecting ecosystems against climate change to fighting diseases and preserving biodiversity. This year’s Dean’s Report is focused on our home state of California. We hope to call attention to some of the work being done by
faculty at the School of Biological Sciences that has a direct impact on the state’s residents and ecosystems, from climate change to diabetes research and much more.
