QBS 110.5 Integrative Biomedical Sciences Seminar Project
This optional QBS course elective can only be taken in sequence with QBS 110: Integrative Biomedical Sciences Seminar, a course designed to introduce first year QBS students to the diversity of biomedical research in QBS across the quantitative sciences. In 110, students are expected to gain a broad perspective about the types of biomedical research questions that could be addressed using quantitative methods. QBS 110.5 is a project-based continuation of 110 and is meant to further promote interdisciplinary thinking by requiring students to develop a theoretical project proposal that brings together two or more QBS faculty members to solve a biomedical research question that is not currently being addressed in an active collaboration. This will provide students with experience in thinking about how to bring a diverse and collaborative team of scientists together to solve a complex problem. Students may potentially even develop a project idea that they wish explore in future rotations, a dissertation project, or independent study.
