| We are currently squarely in a historic time for biologists. Having recently achieved the goal of sequencing the human genome, biologists worldwide are now in the midst of a scientific revolution. Scientists are making strides towards understanding the complexity of living systems using the new genomic data as well as classical scientific approaches. It is the goal of our Department to train students to use these multi-faceted approaches to biomedical research in this exciting time of scientific exploration. I believe you will find our graduate program an exciting opportunity to pursue graduate training in the biomedical sciences. I invite you to explore more details about our graduate program on our web site (http://gg.bu.edu/grad_program/). |
