More successful and effective investigations and interventions on biological systems — from macromolecules to ecosystems — demand new concepts, new vocabularies and new skills that cut across traditional disciplines.
A QSB degree offers quantitative training to suit your preparation and needs, an interdisciplinary cohort of students and faculty to build your confidence working in collaborative cross-disciplinary teams, and the opportunity to master the concepts and technology of modern biological research.
As the defining focus of a biology graduate program, Quantitative and Systems Biology aims to accelerate the pace at which paradigm-shifting discoveries transform biology.
The QSB graduate program has strengths in four particular areas within Biology:
1. Molecular and Cell Biology with disciplinary strengths in:
** Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
** Cell and Developmental Biology
** Neurobiology
** Microbiology and Immunology
** Physiology
2. Ecology and Evolutionary Biology with disciplinary strengths in:
** Molecular Evolution and Ecology
** Microbial Ecology and Genomics
** Organismal and Integrative Biology
** Population Ecology, Genetics and Genomics
3. Systems and Synthetic Biology with disciplinary strengths in:
** Molecular Systems Biology
** Systems Ecology
** Synthetic Biology
4. Quantitative Biology and Bioinformatics with disciplinary strengths in:
** Mathematical Biology
** Computational Biology
** Physical Biology
** Structural Biology
** Bioinformatics
