Do not fill this in! ===Biology=== Biological research at Georgia State is divided into four categories; applied and environmental microbiology (AEM), cellular molecular biology and physiology (CMBP), molecular genetics and biochemistry, and neurobiology and behavior. The AEM program concentrates on the environmental, industrial, and medical aspects of microbiology, including [[bioremediation]], toxicology, genetics, cellular responses, and natural product biosynthesis.<ref>{{cite web|title=AEM Program|url=http://biology.gsu.edu/11373.html|work=Department of Biology|publisher=Georgia State University|access-date=July 11, 2013|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130711032309/http://biology.gsu.edu/11373.html|archive-date=July 11, 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Applied and Environmental Microbiology Research Faculty|url=http://biology.gsu.edu/13430.html|work=Department of Biology|publisher=Georgia State University|access-date=July 11, 2013|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130208013502/http://www.biology.gsu.edu/13430.html|archive-date=February 8, 2013}}</ref> Cellular and molecular biology and physiology focuses on the function and regulation of eukaryotic cells and organisms, doing research including signal transduction, cancer immunology, virology, immunology, and diabetes research.<ref>{{cite web|title=Cellular Molecular Biology and Physiology Research Faculty|url=http://biology.gsu.edu/13432.html|work=Department of Biology|publisher=Georgia State University|access-date=July 11, 2013|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130302175955/http://biology.gsu.edu/13432.html|archive-date=March 2, 2013}}</ref> The MGB program ranges from lower eukaryotic programmed cell death to viral RNA replication.<ref>{{cite web|title=MGB Program|url=http://biology.gsu.edu/11377.html|work=Department of Biology|publisher=Georgia State University|access-date=July 11, 2013|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130711032238/http://biology.gsu.edu/11377.html|archive-date=July 11, 2013}}</ref> The neurobiology and behavior program is involved in research focusing on topics such as neurobiology, behavior, hormonal action, developmental neurobiology, and vertebrate sexual plasticity, to name a few.<ref>{{cite web|title=Neurobiology and Behavior Faculty|url=http://biology.gsu.edu/13436.html|work=Department of Biology|publisher=Georgia State University|access-date=July 11, 2013|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141025221908/http://www.biology.gsu.edu/13436.html|archive-date=October 25, 2014}}</ref> Georgia State is currently the only university in the United States operating a [[BSL-4]] lab (the highest bio-safety level) at level 4 conditions.
