The BQBS track in Yale’s BBS Program is the perfect environment for fostering

The BQBS track in Yale's BBS Program is the perfect environment for fostering innovative and interdisciplinary thinking. With research ranging from theoretical biology to RNA biochemistry, BQBS is a wonderful place to study for folks interested in a wide array of topics. The classes, seminars, and informal discussions reflect the diversity of thought and research in the program. Coursework spans all areas of biology, from macromolecular structure and molecular biology to cell biology and organismal-level physiology. With quantitative courses such as biological physics and dynamical systems, the BQBS track encourages students to approach biology more analytically and mathematically. The laboratory rotations in BQBS are equally diverse; given that the labs at Yale cover nearly all biological topics, the only limitation during rotations is the student's intellectual curiosity. Since arriving at Yale, I have conducted research with incredibly brilliant and supportive faculty members, and I have studied alongside students who will become future leaders in their field. BQBS has allowed me to develop as a student and scientist, in a collaborative and welcoming atmosphere.
