Computational Biology

Program Overview

The Computational Biology program at Rutgers–Camden, offered through the Center for Computational and Integrative Biology (CCIB), is an interdisciplinary program that bridges experimental biology with computational and quantitative approaches. Students explore biological systems from the molecular to the population level, applying principles from mathematics, chemistry, physics, and computer science to solve complex biological problems. The program is available at both undergraduate and graduate levels, including options for a B.S., M.S., and Ph.D.
