The goal of the program is to prepare the next generation of scientists working at the interface of the physical and biomedical sciences. Ph.D. students in the QB program are trained to apply quantitative experimental techniques, physical models, and mathematical analysis to important problems in biomedical research. Students are given a rigorous background in their chosen scientific discipline and at the same time are trained to work effectively as members of the cross-disciplinary teams that are essential to emerging modalities of scientific investigation.
The Quantitative Biology Program at Brandeis is funded by an award from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) as a part of the Interfaces Initiative jointly sponsored by HHMI and the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering.
