G-CBB-PHD - Computational Biology and Bioinformatics - PhD

The CBB core curriculum emphasizes the integration of biology and computation, as reflected in the syllabus of each core course, which includes lectures on quantitative principles and methods along with biological applications. The core courses taken by all CBB students include Computational Biology and Bioinformatics 520, Computational Biology and Bioinformatics 540, and one of Computational Biology and Bioinformatics 561, 662, or 663. In addition to the core courses, all CBB graduate students are expected to take several elective courses, within CBB and outside the program, in areas of biological and quantitative sciences related to their chosen research. In addition, all first and second-year students must register for Computational Biology and Bioinformatics 510S (Computational Biology Seminar) and Computational Biology and Bioinformatics 511 (Journal Club).
