Division of Biology and Medicine

Brown University's Division of Biology and Medicine comprises the Program in Biology, the Medical School, and the Program in Public Health. The Division is home to five basic biology departments offering undergraduate and graduate courses, 14 clinical departments, and two hybrid departments (with both clinical and campus-based faculty).

The Division of Biology and Medicine is the administrative home for faculty whose primary roles are in research, education, or clinical care in the domains of biology, medical science, and public health. All teaching responsibilities in the three domains are discharged by divisional faculty. This organizational structure encourages multidisciplinary instruction and research, a hallmark of education at Brown.

The Division and its teaching hospital partners attract $200 million in external research funding per year.
