Princeton Center for Quantitative Biology

The Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics, housed in the Carl Icahn Laboratory at Princeton University, was established to innovate in research and teaching at the interface of modern biology and the more quantitative sciences. The Institute is the hub of the Center for Quantitative Biology, funded by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), one of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

News

ISI ScienceWatch features John Storey in Fast Moving Fronts article
11/16/2009 - A November article on
ScienceWatch.com discusses a highly cited 2005 paper by Associate Professor of Molecular Biology and member of the Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics, John Storey, and colleagues. The paper, titled "Significance analysis of time course microarray experiments," was published in the Proceedings of the National Academies of Science, and provided a groundbreaking statistical approach for analyzing gene expression studies carried out over a period of time.

Biology@Princeton graduate program launched
10/28/2009 - Because education in the life sciences is increasingly multi-disciplinary, a new program,
Biology@Princeton, provides greater flexibility for applicants as well as greater cohesion among students and faculty in the program. Biology@Princeton comprises the four core biology Graduate Programs of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology (EEB), Molecular Biology (MOL), Neuroscience (NEU), and Quantitative and Computational Biology (QCB). The program offers an open curriculum, ease of movement across departmental lines, ease of interdepartmental collaboration by faculty and students, and relatively flexible rules and regulations.

During the online admission process, applicants select "Biology at Princeton" from the Program Choices list. Then they rank their preferences for a home program from among the four core programs. Students are admitted into one home program, with the possibility of transferring to another after they choose a thesis advisor. Visit Biology@Princeton for more information. The admission deadline is December 1.

QCB@Princeton now a Ph.D. graduate program
9/23/2009 -
QCB@Princeton is now a full-fledged Ph.D. granting program with an application deadline of December 1. Prospective students will apply directly to the Quantitative and Computational Biology Department through the Graduate School.
