Overview

About the program

This synthesis and integration of fields requires a new generation of scientists that thrives in cross-disciplinary research. This can include molecular, cellular, and organismal biology (including genetics), mathematics, statistics, chemistry, and engineering. The goal of the Genomics and Computational Biology program at the University of Pennsylvania is to train students that are experts in one or more of these disciplines and well versed in the others.

We provide a comprehensive training program in Genomics and Computational Biology that gives PhD and MD/PhD students a broad foundation in the biological and quantitative sciences along with practical experience in computational and experimental genomics. The knowledge gained in this program will serve students in their careers as technology progresses.
