Georgia Institute of Technology Quantitative Biosciences Graduate Program

The Ph.D. in Quantitative Biosciences is designed to give graduates training in the quantitative analysis of problems in the biosciences – spanning foundational advances and application to challenges in human health, energy and the environment.  Such training includes:

• Learning how to identify cutting-edge questions in the biosciences
• Developing broadly relevant mathematical and computational skill-sets
• Applying mathematical and computational methods to understand and predict the structure and dynamics of living systems.
• Advancing the frontiers of quantitative biosciences, culminating in published research satisfying the requirements, in part, of a Doctorate in Quantitative Biosciences.

The Ph.D. in QBioS is designed to be completed over 5 years (fall, spring and summer).  QBioS Ph.D. graduates will have the skills and expert knowledge necessary to move directly into academia, industry and/or government, where they can apply their specific domain expertise and broadly relevant modeling tools.  

An extended description of the program is available via the QBioS Student Handbook.
