Biology is entering a transformative era powered by data. Emerging technologies — such as high-throughput sequencing, advanced imaging and computational modeling — are generating vast datasets across genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and cellular behavior. These innovations are revolutionizing how scientists uncover the fundamental principles of life. The Master of Science in Quantitative Biology and Bioinformatics (MS-QBB) at Carnegie Mellon University prepares students to lead in this data-driven revolution. Offered by the Department of Biological Sciences in the Mellon College of Science, the program combines rigorous life sciences training with practical computational skills.
