Computational Genomics Education and Training
Ph.D. Programs
Students interested in Ph.D. studies at Hopkins in genomics, computational biology, and related topics have a number of choices. While we do not have a Ph.D. program specifically in Bioinformatics or Genomics, our faculty supervise Ph.D. research in both these areas through a number of different graduate programs. Links to these programs can be found below, and potential students are encouraged to apply to the Ph.D. program that best matches their interests.
Biostatistics at the Bloomberg School of Public Health: For students with a background in mathematics or statistics. Biostatistics is ranked number 3 in the country and is an outstanding program overall, with multiple faculty members working in genomics. : For students with a background in mathematics or statistics. Biostatistics is ranked number 3 in the country and is an outstanding program overall, with multiple faculty members working in genomics.
Computer Science in the Whiting School of Engineering: Designed for tudents with a background in computer science, mathematics, physics, or other statistics.
Biomedical Engineering (Joint program with Homewood and School of Medicine): Students with training in engineering, biology, or computer science may consider the Ph.D. program in, ranked #1 in the country for many years.
- Human Genetics at the Institute of Genetic Medicine, School of Medicine: One of the premier human genetics programs in the world and ideal for students with a background in biology.
