    Our Students

    Overview

    PBSB students are a select cohort, comfortably bridging the traditionally quantitative scientific disciplines and the complex challenges of biological systems. Our students lead new areas of investigation, drive established fields towards more quantitative understanding and methods of exploration, publish in respected journals, and are highly sought after upon graduation. Alumni most often continue to careers in academic research, biotechnology, or data science. Our favorable faculty-to-student ratio (~1:1) and dedicated mentorship ensures that every student receives the guidance and advice they need to find their own path.
