| New interdisciplinary program gives students a solid background in the methodological aspects of biostatistics, statistical genetics as well as solid grounding in molecular/laboratory science. The objective of the Ph.D. program is to produce a statistical geneticist or genetic epidemiologist with in-depth statistical and analytic skills in biostatistics, computational methods and the molecular biosciences. The Doctor of Philosophy program in Statistical Genetics and Genetic Epidemiology is a joint effort to combine biostatistics, epidemiology, statistical and molecular genetics and computational methods in order to develop new and cutting-edge statistical methodology appropriate for human genomic studies. | |
