Overview

The Ph.D. in bioinformatics data science trains the next generation of researchers and professionals to play a key role in multi- and interdisciplinary teams, bridging life sciences and computational sciences.

Overview

Students will receive training in experimental, computational and mathematical disciplines through their coursework and research. Students who complete this degree will be able to generate and analyze experimental data for biomedical research as well as develop physical or computational models of the molecular components that drive the behavior of the biological system.

The Ph.D. in Bioinformatics Data Science at the University of Delaware is offered as a University-wide interdisciplinary graduate program with scientific curriculum that builds upon the research and educational strength from departments across the colleges of Engineering (COE), Arts and Sciences (CAS), Agriculture and Natural Resources (CANR) and Earth, Ocean and Environment (CEOE).
