Does anyone know of heavy math based quantitative biology programs?

ec1234: I mostly agree. What I was saying, though, is that there is often a lot of faculty overlap and some schools don’t have a program that’s dedicated to systems biology or something. For instance, UCSD’s computational biology program contains all of their systems biology people (they recently changed the name to have “systems biology” in it, but before it was just bioinformatics, I think). The same goes for WashU (Computational and Systems Biology) and Duke (Computational Biology and Bioinformatics) and Yale (Computational Biology and Bioinformatics) and MIT (Computational and Systems Biology) and UCSF (they have a systems biology program, but all of those faculty are part of Bioinformatics afaik), and at Berkeley some are in the Bioengineering department. All of those programs have people doing systems biology and modeling work, but they also have people doing totally computational stuff.
