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-depthclassroom 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 brochure with additional  program information is attached.



We appreciate your help in bringing these programs to the attention of
undergraduates with appropriate background and interests.
