iQBS Chooses Inaugural Graduate Class for Fall 2011
Four students have been admitted to the Quantitative Biomedical Sciences (QBS) graduate program at Dartmouth's Institute for Quantitative Biomedical Sciences. This new graduate concentration in Quantitative Biomedical Sciences (QBS) is designed cross-train students in bioinformatics, biostatistics, and molecular epidemiology. Classes will begin in September 2011. The students are Matt Davis and Devyn Young, both graduates of The Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice (TDI); Byoung-Gug Kwon from the University of Virginia, and Robert Frost from Harvard.
The QBS program seeks to train highly qualified quantitative students for productive careers in biomedical research and teaching through the completion of an interdiscplinary Ph.D. degree. The program is interdepartmental with faculty from the Departments of Biological Sciences, Community and Family Medicine, Computer Science, Genetics and Medicine at Dartmouth College and Dartmouth Medical School.
