What is PEB?
Yale’s Integrated Graduate Program in Physical and Engineering Biology (PEB) was established to train a new generation of scientists skilled at applying physical and engineering approaches to biology research, and who are also sufficiently sophisticated in their biological training that they can readily identify and tackle cutting-edge problems in the life sciences. The PEB leadership is committed to a new paradigm that transcends traditional, artificial boundaries between both disciplines and between research, teaching, and learning.
Earn a PEB certificate
PEB students acquire a depth of knowledge in their home department and the PEB Certificate curriculum and activities provide a breadth of knowledge across disciplines. Upon completion of the PEB Certificate requirements, students earn a Certificate of Completion from the Integrated Graduate Program in Physical and Engineering Biology. PEB is not a degree-granting program. Students will receive their Ph.D. degree from a home department.
A network and a community
Through the program’s coursework and additional activities, PEB students bond and become part of a network of researchers who use quantitative methodologies to approach biological problems, across the university and beyond. PEB students also have opportunities to participate in a variety of outreach efforts, and to develop new ones.
