Our Christmas party was more than just costumes and decorations; it was a celebration of the people who give life to this department. Faculty who inspire learning and discovery, and staff who make the daily grind smoother. Here’s to stronger bonds, more breakthroughs, and a new year filled with energy as powerful as the living cells we embodied.
Happy holidays from the amazing Biosci Department! 🔬🎅 🎄🧫✨

The Biological Sciences Department joined the CEU Science Club’s tree planting event, “Gaia’s Gift: Planting for a Greener Earth, Rooted in Sustainability,” held on October 11, 2025 at the Payatas Controlled Disposal Facility.

In collaboration with CEU COMPASS SciTech Chapter, CEU Photographers Club, QC Parks Office, and the Bureau of Plant Industry, the CEU community came together to make the world a little greener and a lot brighter!

With the amazing leadership and support of Mr. John Jacob Uy (CEU Science Club Adviser) and Dr. Marilou Lanto (CEU COMPASS-SciTech Chapter Adviser), Ms. Faith Baldisimo (Overall Student Chairperson), together with the BioSci representatives: Ms. Rissa Lasap & Mr. Jerwin Fabrero (Faculty Members); Mrs. Elaine Borromeo (Department Secretary); and Ms. Michelle Lapitan, Mr. Aouie Bonifacio, & Mr. James Emmanuel Manapsal (Laboratory Technicians) — the event bloomed with teamwork, passion, and purpose.

Congratulations to Mr. Ron Richard S. Callera on his latest research publication!

His study, “Artificial Intelligence Embedded in Medical Research Education: Instructional Challenges, Strategies, and Practices,” has been published in the International Journal for Multidisciplinary Research.

The research examines how medical faculty members integrate AI into research education, revealing challenges such as limited technical skills, lack of standardized resources, and varying student readiness. It also highlights effective strategies like collaborative and interdisciplinary teaching, experiential learning, and adaptive technologies.

The study proposes a model for AI integration that emphasizes continuous professional development, innovative teaching practices, and strong institutional support, offering valuable guidance for faculty, administrators, and policymakers navigating AI in research education.

The Biological Sciences Department proudly celebrates National Teacher’s Month. From classrooms to laboratories, our teachers embody the values of excellence, compassion, and service. They do more than impart lessons; they nurture curiosity, ignite the spirit of discovery, and instill the discipline and integrity that guide students not only in their academic journey but also in life.

As we celebrate this month-long occasion, we extend our sincerest gratitude to all teachers whose steadfast commitment continues to transform lives and communities.

Happy National Teacher’s Month!

The Biological Sciences Department proudly congratulates the CEU Bio-Micro Team for achieving 2nd Runner-Up at the Philippine Microbiology Olympiad (PhilMO) 2025 – National Championship held on August 27 at UST!

Composed of Faith M. Pacia, Jose Gabriel P. Nery, Robin A. Caparanga, and Miguel Manuel P. Aquino, with the guidance of their mentor, Mr. John Hermie Paul S. Cerezo, RMicro, the team showcased Escolarian excellence and made CEU the only university from Luzon and the Visayas to secure a podium finish this year.

We applaud the team’s dedication and celebrate their well-deserved success on the national stage. Your dedication, brilliance, and passion have brought great pride to CEU and inspired fellow Escolarians to aim higher in the sciences.

The Biological Sciences Department proudly welcomes its newly inducted permanent faculty members who will continue to shape minds and inspire futures. Let us all celebrate this achievement and continue to uphold academic excellence in the life sciences.

Another milestone of excellence for the School of Science and Technology! 🏅

The Bachelor of Science in Biology program has been granted the Highest Level of Accreditation, Level IV, third Reaccredited Status by the Philippine Association of Colleges and Universities Commission on Accreditation (PACUCOA) for the period of February 2025 to February 2030. 🌿
