This is an interfaculty, interdepartmental and interdisciplinary graduate program that allows PhD students to address the most important and challenging problems in life sciences fields such as biology, medicine, and the environment, and help solve them by building and implementing the latest mathematical, statistical, computational and\/or quantitative approaches. This program brings together students and researchers across all scientific disciplines and university faculties.<br \/>\nQuantitative Life Sciences is the broad application of mathematical, computational and other quantitative methods to study biological systems at all scales \u2013 from single molecules to the environment. It is part of a rapidly expanding field that includes such specializations as systems biology, bioinformatics, biophysics, medical informatics, computational biology, computational pharmacology, computational neuroscience and mathematical biology.<\/p>\n<div class=\"12e8abe62ae64b91c0bfbd6c80849a4d\" data-index=\"5\"><\/div>\n<p><strong>Eligibility<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Applicants are expected to hold an undergraduate degree in one of the following areas (or equivalent): Biology, chemistry, physiology, genetics, engineering, computer science, mathematics, statistics, or physics.<\/li>\n<li>Applicants must have a\u00a0strong quantitative background.
