A distinguishing characteristic of the students in this track, in contrast with the students in the other Cell and Molecular Biology tracks, is the magnitude and sophistication of the computational component of their project. This includes but is not limited to the analysis of large data sets, more exhaustive computational analysis, develop novel types of analysis, and write sophisticated computer programs to analyze their data.
Interactions and collaborations with investigators from other CMB tracks, Biostatistics, and the departments of Computer Science, Engineering, and Biomedical Engineering are encouraged. Students who do well in this track frequently demonstrate individual initiative in generating and executing projects. Students are allowed to have more than one CMB mentor during their graduate careers to develop and implement interdisciplinary projects.
