Department of Cell Biology, Faculty of Natural Sciences, University of Salzburg
WHO WE ARE
The Faculty of Natural Sciences is a modern, purpose-built centre for research and teaching in biology and other biophysical sciences at Salzburg University. The Faculty is involved in multi-disciplinary research in environmental and conservation biology locally and internationally. In 2013 the Department of Cell Biology within the Faculty was expanded to encompass a new sub-Department, the Division of Animal Structure and Function. This has broadened the remit of the Cell Biology Department in various directions, so that it now includes the short- and long-term influences of environmental change on animal species, from individuals to populations.
