  • OEB and CDB Committies Formed

  • OEB and CDB Split

    During the years since 1971, the OEB and CDB groups became increasingly distinct, establishing their own graduate programs and making appoints. In 1982, the two committees officially split creating two departments
  • OEB and CDB Split

    In 1994, the Departments of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (BMB) and Cellular and Developmental Biology (CDB) coalesced into the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology (MCB)
  • BMB and CDB Coalesce

    In 1994, the Departments of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (BMB) and Cellular and Developmental Biology (CDB) coalesced into the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology (MCB)
