QBC Graduate Program Retreat

The Biological and Medical Informatics Graduate Program, Biophysics Graduate Program, Chemistry and Chemical Biology Graduate Program, and Pharmaceutical Sciences and Pharmacogenomics Graduate Program hold an annual joint retreat in Monterey, California. The retreat spans two days and focuses on faculty research talks and a poster session. The retreat is typically held in late autumn. Our next retreat is tentatively scheduled for November 2024.

QBC Journal Club

First- and second-year students in the Biological and Medical Informatics Graduate Program, the Biophysics Graduate Program, Chemistry and Chemical Biology Graduate Program, and Pharmaceutical Sciences and Pharmacogenomics Graduate Program participate in a weekly joint journal club. In the course of the year each student presents one journal article outside of his or her immediate study. These seminars are open to faculty members and other interested colleagues. This activity serves two purposes, both broadening the interests of students and giving them the opportunity for oral presentations.
