PhD in Computational Biology & Bioinformatics
Program Principles & Goals
The PhD Program in Computational Biology & Bioinformatics (CBB) is an integrative, multi-disciplinary training program that encompasses the study of biology using computational and quantitative methods. In and out of the classroom, students learn to apply the tools of statistics, mathematics, computer science and informatics to biological problems. The vibrant and innovative Duke research in these fields provides exciting interactions between biological and computational scientists.
In both formal and informal settings, Computational Biology & Bioinformatics students interact with over 50 faculty whose research spans a variety of areas, including:
- systems biology
- genome analysis
- structural computational biology
- medical genomics
- mathematical and statistical modeling of biological systems
- evolutionary genomics
Computational Biology & Bioinformatics students are educated and mentored in classes, labs and research projects with faculty from multiple departments and disciplines, spanning the biological and computational disciplines, in both medical and non-medical departments.
