The Program in Quantitative and Computational Biology (QCB) is intended to facilitate graduate education at Princeton at the interface of biology and the more quantitative sciences and computation. Administered from The Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics, QCB is a collaboration in multidisciplinary graduate education among faculty in the Institute and the Departments of Chemistry, Computer Science, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Molecular Biology, and Physics. The program covers the fields of genomics, computational biology, systems biology, evolutionary and population genomics, statistical genetics, and metabolomics and proteomics.

QCB Open House: We welcome prospective Ph.D. applicants interested in these areas of research to register for our open house on November 8th, 2023, 3PM ET. This virtual event will include a program and research overview, faculty panel, a guide to applying to graduate school, and a graduate student panel. We strongly encourage prospective Ph.D. applicants from historically underrepresented groups in STEM to attend and learn about QCB at Princeton. Please see our event page for details!
