Greetings, UC Merced provides students with a world-class education, distinctive of the University of California, while adding a special blend of small academic programs, interdisciplinary research and personalized attention from award-winning faculty. UC Merced professors and researchers have acquired more than $185.7 million in grants and contracts, one of the highest per-capita in the country. With more than 400 graduate students and a rapidly growing graduate student population, it is no wonder UC Merced is attracting the best and brightest scholars from all over the world. UC Merced provides competitive financial support and resources. About 95 percent of our graduate students receive funding in the form of fellowships, teaching assistantships (TA), and graduate student researcher (GSR) assistantships. The Quantitative and Systems Biology (M.S., Ph.D.) Graduate Group at UC Merced offers cross-disciplinary masters and doctoral training with unique and competitive advantages: quantitative training, readiness to collaborate in cross-disciplinary teams, and mastery of the concepts and technologies of modern biological research. QSB aims to accelerate the pace at which paradigm-shifting discoveries transform the field. Our mission is to accelerate biological discovery through the innovative, interdisciplinary science and engineering of living systems and their properties. The unity of biology is a key QSB core value that guides how we organize and run our program. I also encourage you to visit the Graduate Division’s web page, http://graduatedivision.ucmerced.edu, to learn more about our innovative academic programs, financial support, student services, professional development opportunities, and important information about the application process. While you’re there, explore our faculty pages to learn about the exciting research currently taking place. We look forward to seeing your students join our graduate program in Quantitative and Systems Biology (M.S., Ph.D.). If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me. Sincerely, Iqbal Atwal
