Introduction
Genomics, Phenomics and Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary graduate program that involves 27 faculty from six departments and three colleges.
Students in the program will perform advanced study, training and research in areas that focus on functional genomics, high-throughput phenotyping, and computation analysis of genomic and phenomic data. This will lead to an understanding of the many -omics fields interact to understand how a phenotype is expressed.
The program is designed to provide both M.S. and Ph.D. students the necessary skills and intellectual background to work cooperatively with others in research areas that take a systems-wide approach to the study of the organization and expression of the many genes and their products expressed in an organism. Exposure to modern techniques and instrumentation will prepare the student for success in both industrial and academic careers.
Students can obtain a Master of Science (M.S.) or Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in any of the following tracks:
- Genomics
- Bioinformatics
- Phenotypics
All applicants are eligible for graduate assistantship consideration. Graduate assistantships include a monthly stipend and may include a full tuition waiver.
