PROGRAM AND MISSION

Modern biology, in this post-genome age, is being greatly enriched by an infusion of ideas from a variety of computational fields, including computer science, information science, mathematics, operations research and statistics. In turn, biological problems are motivating innovations in these computational sciences. There is a high demand for scientists who can bridge these disciplines.

The goal of the BCB Training Program is to train such scientists through a rigorous and balanced curriculum that transcends traditional departmental boundaries. The Program offers specialized training toward certification in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology that complement and enhance the normal degree requirements of the students’ home departments.
