Overview

About the program

Students in this Cell and Molecular Biology - Genetics and Epigenetics program at the University of Pennsylvania also have the opportunity to train in the application of computational and modeling approaches in genetics, epigenetics and genomics.

Over 80 faculty are affiliated with G&E, including members of the Genetics Department, Penn Epigenetics Institute, and of many other basic science and clinical departments at UPenn, Children’s Hospital, and the Wistar Institute.

G&E also shares many faculty with the Genomics and Computational Biology (GCB) graduate group, which places greater emphasis on computation and modeling, and students can select coursework and dual mentors from both programs.
