Overview
The Computational Biology degree at University of California, Berkeley is concerned with advancing knowledge at the interface of the computational and biological sciences and is therefore intended for students who are passionate about being high functioning in both fields.
Features
- The designated emphasis augments disciplinary training with a solid foundation in the different facets of genomic research and provides students with the skills needed to collaborate across disciplinary boundaries to solve a wide range of computational biology and genomic problems.
Programme Structure
Curriculum:
- The time to degree (normative time) of the Computational Biology PhD is five years.
- The first year of the program emphasizes gaining competency in computational biology, the biological sciences, and the computational sciences (broadly construed).
- Since student backgrounds will vary widely, each student will work with faculty and student advisory committees to develop a program of study tailored to their background and interests.
- Entering students are required to complete three laboratory rotations during their first year in the program to seek out a Dissertation Advisor under whose supervision dissertation research will be conducted.
