CBB is part of the Yale combined program in theBiological and Biomedical Sciences (BBS). BBS is an umbrella program that incorporates a number of different areas of biological research. Students apply to theCBB trackof the BBS program and are part of this track for their first year of studies. After their first year, students join the CBB interdepartmental graduate program and work towards a degree in Computational Biology and Biomedical Informatics.Alternatively, students may join any of the other departments associated with BBS if they find that another department better fits their interest after the first year.
CBB offers a Ph.D. with an en-route Masters’ degree; a terminal Masters’ program is offered with a Computational Biology or Biomedical Informatics concentration as well. For more information about these degrees, visit theCurriculumpage. For more information about applying to these programs, visit theApplication Informationpage.
There are a variety of social and career events held throughout the year, including Research in Progress (RIP) talks, journal clubs and seminars. Check theCalendarpage for upcoming events.
