Description

Computational and Quantitative Biology (CQB) is a cross-disciplinary discipline integrating Computer Science, Physics, Engineering and Biology to understand the molecular basis of life and pathogenic mechanisms. CQB involves the modeling of biological systems as sets of interacting entities extracted from multiple types of experimental data to obtain predictive models. Given the massive data set currently being generated by “omics” technologies, CQB is key to drive the next discoveries in the Life Science. The main objective of the CQB Ph.D. program is to train the next generation of scientists who are expert in both computational and biological techniques. The program emphasizes offers an integrated and customizable curriculum that consists of two semesters of formal teaching courses and experimental work tailored to each student’s background and interests, research rotations with faculty mentors spanning computational biology’s core disciplines, and dissertation research.
