| We offer a multidisciplinary program of training in genetic and molecular epidemiology that involves multiple institutions in the Philadelphia area. The goal of this program is to train students to integrate methods from molecular biology, classical genetics, epidemiology, biostatistics, and related disciplines. This training will prepare researchers to study genetic and environmental causes of complex traits and commonly-occurring diseases. The training program is geared toward individuals who have an advanced degree in a clinical or basic science discipline, and wish to undertake molecular or genetic epidemiologic research in their specialty area. Formal coursework is offered in epidemiology, biostatistics, basic science disciplines, bioethics, and genetic/molecular epidemiology. This work can culminate in a master's of science in clinical epidemiology or doctoral degree. Non-degree postdoctoral fellowships are also available. | |
