The Quantitative Biology Institute is situated on the concourse and plaza levels of the Yale Science Building. Critically, it is uniquely located near three basic biology departments (MCDB, MB&B, EEB), and near the physics, chemistry, mathematics, statistics and data science, computer science and Yale Engineering departments. This make it an ideal location to serve as a hub for interdisciplinary and interdepartmental research. Members of the institute also have laboratories across the university, from science hill to the engineering school and from the medical school to West Campus.

Institute Labs
The QBio Institute Labs are residential groups within QBio that share laboratory and office space. Learn more about their research here.
QBio Research at Yale
Explore the research groups and laboratories of the QBio faculty members spanning quantitative biology, physics, engineering, theory and experiments.
The Quantitative Biology Institute comprises twelve laboratories - seven “wet” and five “dry”. The lab space will be “open” in the sense that working and seating space for students and postdocs from different groups will be mixed together.
A key design feature is that the theoretical and computational groups will have access to the wet labs, so they can incorporate experiments into their research programs. A central common lounge area under the skylight facilitates morning informal discussions.

Hotel Space
QBio hosts several “hotel” like office space for PEB graduate students and faculty. The space is located in the concourse level and first floor of the Yale Science Building.
The hotel spaces are designated with the “Quantitative Biology Institute Hoteling Desk” sticker. To request a hoteling space please email QBio at qbio@yale.edu.
