Kruglyak group graduate student Joshua Bloom receives NSF Graduate Fellowship
The turn of the 21st century marks a watershed in the progress of the biological sciences. Biology is being transformed from a largely descriptive activity into a quantitative science whose insights are organically connected to the physical and information sciences.
The Program in Quantitative and Computational Biology at Princeton provides multidisciplinary graduate education under the leadership of the Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics.
The program is meant to include, among others, the fields of genomics, biophysics, computational neurobiology, systems biology, population biology and quantitative genetics, molecular evolution, computational biology, and microbial interactions, all of which are already of interest to faculty in the collaborating departments and the Institute.
QCB currently includes five actively participating departments: Chemistry, Computer Science, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Molecular Biology and Physics. A total of 70 faculty representing 12 departments have joined the QCB program.
Ph.D. degrees will be offered by the collaborating academic departments with some indication of the interdisciplinary nature of the thesis.
Information about the undergraduate certificate program in QCB, which is distinct from this graduate program, can be found here.
