Steven Biller

Steven Biller is an Associate Professor in the Biological Sciences department at Wellesley College. His research spans marine microbiology, systems biology, and genomics, focusing on the ecological and physiological interactions within microbial communities, particularly with the marine cyanobacterium Prochlorococcus.

• Teaching: Introductory Cellular and Molecular Biology (BISC 110), Genetics (BISC/BIOC 219), Genomics and Bioinformatics (BISC 333)
• Research Focus: Systems biology of marine microbes, extracellular vesicles, microbial interactions, and cross-scale ecological dynamics

His work integrates genomics, computational biology, and oceanography to address critical questions about microbial survival strategies and ecosystem functions. He also contributes to genomic database development and public education about oceanic importance.
