Computation, Bioinformatics, and Statistics Practicum

Catalog description

Students will identify, plan and implement actual research projects involving high dimensional, complex "omics" data that are relevant to the biomedical sciences and of direct interest to the students enrolled and their mentors. Students will form teams and work on these projects throughout the semester, fostering interdisciplinary exchanges, the ability to work collaboratively in teams, and excellence in oral and written communication. Various types of computational tools and statistical techniques will be discussed, utilized and compared, based on students' background and choice of research projects.
