Bioinformatics and Computational Biology Ph D

The PhD in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology is a degree designed for students seeking the highest level of advanced research training in the area of bioinformatics and computational biology. PhD students are required to develop and complete an original research project of scientific significance as part of their doctoral thesis, which is reported in peer-reviewed scientific literature. PhD students are trained to develop a high level of core knowledge and technical expertise within their chosen field as well as critical thinking, analysis, and scientific communication skills. At the time of completion, students are expected to have the ability to conduct research independently, and should be capable of designing, performing and leading research projects and teams in an industry, academic or government research setting.
