Our Mission

The Program in Physical, Engineering, and Biology (PEB) enables transformative research and teaching initiatives.

Faculty, students, and postdocs in PEB are committed to a new paradigm that transcends traditional boundaries both between disciplines and between research, teaching, and learning. We have a variety of activities set in place that showcase the innovative ways in which we achieve this. 

Our Faculty

Our faculty members come from over 20 departments in the Faculty of Arts and Science, the School of Medicine, and the School of Engineering and Applied Science. Many faculty have ongoing research collaborations, which focus on exploring exciting problems in biology using quantitative, physical approaches.

Research Areas

Research carried out in PEB labs encompasses a broad range of time and length scales and frequently bring together wet lab work with theory, computation, and modeling. Our research groups explore one or more of the following research areas:

Anyone whose research or teaching interests mesh with our program’s is welcome to participate.

PEB works closely with Yale’s Quantitative Biology Institute.
