计算生物学和定量遗传学理学硕士课程为学生提供了成功应对大规模公共卫生数据（“大数据”）在生物医学研究中所面临的挑战所需的严格的定量培训和基本技能。这个由生物统计学和流行病学系联合提供的新的80学分计划旨在为学生提供：理解和解释数据所需的生物学背景，提供熟悉基本工具和数据资源的生物信息学背景，用于用于分析和管理“大数据”，即适当地分析大型定量数据集所需的统计技能，以及设计，进行和分析实验所必需的流行病学技能。计算生物学和定量遗传学专业的SM旨在作为最终专业学位，使您能够开始从事生物信息学的职业。它也可以为生
The Master of Science in Computational Biology and Quantitative Genetics provides students with the rigorous quantitative training and essential skills needed to successfully meet the challenges presented by large-scale public health data Big Data in biomedical research. This new 80-credit program, offered jointly by the Departments of Biostatistics and Epidemiology, is designed to provide students with: The biological background needed to understand and interpret data, A bioinformatics background providing familiarity with essential tools and data resources, Computational skills used to for analyze and manage Big Data, Statistical skills required to appropriately analyze large quantitative datasets and Epidemiological skills necessary for the design, conduct, and analysis of experiments. The SM in Computational Biology and Quantitative Genetics is intended as a terminal professional degree which will enable you to launch your career in bioinformatics. It can also provide the foundation for further doctoral studies in biostatistics, epidemiology, computational biology, and other related fields.
