Graduate Program
To:


Dear Colleagues,

I am writing to encourage you to have your students apply to the graduate
program in Mathematical,

Computational and Systems Biology (MCSB) at UC Irvine. We are looking for
excellent students, with a

variety of different backgrounds, who wish to work at the interface between
the biological sciences, the

physical sciences, computer sciences and engineering. The graduate program
in Mathematical,

Computational and Systems Biology (MCSB) is designed to meet the
interdisciplinary training challenges

of modern biology and to function in concert with existing departmental
programs (Departmental

Option) or as an individually tailored program (Interdisciplinary Option)
leading to a M.S. or Ph.D.

degree. The interdisciplinary degree option is new. The degree program
provides students with both

opportunity for rigorous training towards research careers in areas related
to systems biology and

flexibility through individualized faculty counseling on curricular needs,
and access to a diverse group of

affiliated faculty and research projects from member departments. Current
member departments

include Biomedical Engineering, Biological Chemistry, Computer Science,
Developmental and Cell

Biology, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Mathematics, Microbiology and
Molecular Genetics,

Molecular Biology and Biochemistry, Chemistry, and Physics. The program
emphasizes in-depth

classroom study, interdisciplinary research rotations, and individualized
advising. The program is

administered by the Center for Complex Biological Systems, a National
Institutes of Health National

Center of Excellence in Systems Biology. More information about the
program, including how to apply, is

available at http://www.mcsb.uci.edu. A flyer for this program is attached.



We appreciate your help in bringing these programs to the attention of
undergraduates with

appropriate background and interests.

John Lowengrub, Ph.D.

Director of Graduate Studies, MCSB Program
