The
Center for Quantitative Biology (CQB) provides support for research and
graduate education in biology at the
interface with the mathematical and physical sciences; facilitates
interactions among experimentalists and theoreticians working on
problems in molecular biophysics and computational and systems biology;
and provides training for a new generation of scientists
using the latest computational and modeling tools. The CQB is the home
and provides oversight of the graduate program in computational biology
and molecular biophysics.
Research
at the Center for Quantitative Biology combines molecular-level details
and biophysical modeling
with statistical and bioinformatics tools to provide a multiscale view
of complex biological systems. Current foci of collaborative research at
the CQB include: transcriptional regulation of gene expression, modeling of biological pathways and interaction networks,
proteomics, structure-based drug and vaccine design, and development of
computational and statistical methods for the classification of cancer
patients.
Students
completing the graduate program in Quantitative Biomedicine are awarded
the Ph.D. degree. Courses
and dissertation research are focused on the concepts and techniques of
molecular and structural biology; bioinformatics and computational
biology; and statistical physics and mathematical modeling. In addition,
the program provides the necessary infrastructure
(courses and faculty) for students enrolled in the molecular biosciences
umbrella program at Rutgers who wish to specialize in computational and
structural biology.
