Summer Undergraduate Research @ QBio

Our Physical & Engineering Biology Summer Undergraduate Research Program enables undergraduates interested in pursuing a career in the sciences to conduct interdisciplinary research at Yale for a 9-week period during the summer (1 week remote, 8 weeks in person). Our program is currently a funded NSF REU site with a focus on Quantitative and Systems Biology research questions. Our program focuses on research at the intersection of biology, physics, and engineering as they apply to quantitative and systems biology. It also serves as a glimpse of what graduate school at a large research institutions is like.

Undergraduate Training

QBio is reshaping undergraduate education in biology and mathematics at Yale by integrating computational and quantitative approaches from physical sciences and engineering. Building on new courses in dynamical systems, MATLAB and Python, it applies these tools to cell, developmental, and neurobiology problems. Through collaboration among MCDB, MB&B, and Yale Engineering departments, QBio equips students with modern tools like machine learning, and fosters interdisciplinary training for future researchers. 

QBio faculty regularly teach in the Yale College MCDB Concentration in Quantitative Biology. Learn more about the program’s course requirements here.
