博士学位允许毕业生领导学术，行业或政府职位的研究。所有潜在申请人都应注意，“生物医学信息学”课程在智力上很严格，并强调旨在促进生物学和医学发展的新型计算方法的研究。您可能还想研究其他计算和定量研究生课程（生物工程，计算机科学，统计）和生物科学课程中其他课程（例如遗传学，化学与系统生物学或结构生物学）的学位课程。与其他计算/定量程序相比，BMI更加关注知识表示和推理，数据挖掘和分析以及机器学习的信息学问题，而与生物科学程序相比，BMI则更加注重方法开发和评估。基础科学。许多部门的教职员工都有计算性质的研究项
The PhD degree allows graduates to lead research in academic, industry, or government positions. All prospective applicants should note that the program in Biomedical Informatics is intellectually rigorous, and emphasizes research in novel computational methods aimed at advancing biology and medicine. You may also want to investigate degree programs from other computational and quantitative graduate programs (Bioengineering, Computer Science, Statistics) and other programs in the Biosciences Programs (such as Genetics, Chemical & Systems Biology, or Structural Biology). In contrast to the other computational/quantitative programs, BMI focuses more on informatics issues of knowledge representation and reasoning, data mining and analysis, and machine learning, while in contrast to the Biosciences programs, BMI places greater emphasis on method development and evaluation than on basic science. Faculty from many departments have research projects of a computational nature, and in some cases there is considerable overlap, but our applications committee evaluates the fit of your application to our program, so the choice of a home program is an important one.
