The master's program provides training in the new interdisciplinary filed of computational and integrative biology. The program offers coursework and hands-on research experience for best understanding key concepts in biological chemistry, biomathematics, computer science, biophysics, and integrative biology. The program teaches students how to apply quantitative approaches to researching biological systems, critically analyze scientific literature in the field, and skillfully communicate scientific ideas and research results. Graduates are qualified for research careers, industry (such as pharmaceutical), or for entering a doctoral program or medical school. Some graduates continue on into the Rutgers University-Camden Ph.D. program in computational and integrative biology.
The doctoral program provides in-depth research training with internationally recognized faculty in the Center for Computational and Integrative Biology. Students will have a range of undergraduate degrees, including mathematics, computer science, physics, chemistry, and biology. Doctoral students will be required to demonstrate the capability to make a significant original interdisciplinary research contribution to the study of biological systems, and to present and defend this contribution in an oral defense.
