The Institute of Arctic Biology (IAB), established by the Alaska Legislature and the University of Alaska Board of Regents in 1962, supports faculty research and graduate education in biological, wildlife, and health sciences at UAF. IAB provides platforms for research in programs from ecology and ecosystems to molecular biology and genetics, including field stations, small and large animal facilities, and core laboratories for geographic information systems (GIS) and DNA sequencing. Major programs include the Center for Alaska Native Health Research, Alaska Specialized Neuroscience Research Program, and the Center for Molecular Genetic Studies of Hibernation. IAB faculty deliver the entire curriculum for undergraduate majors in Biology and Wildlife Biology, an increasing component of Chemistry and Biochemistry majors, and provide UAF undergraduates with opportunities for hands-on research experiences in the field and laboratory. IAB sponsors the weekly Life Science Seminar, and the yearly Irving-Scholander Memorial Lecture and Jay Hammond Lecture in Wildlife Biology series.
