| The Genome Science Training Program of the Center for Statistical Genetics offers pre- and post-doctoral training at the interface between the mathematical sciences and human genetics. The fundamental premise of the Program is that graduates require substantial training in both subject areas and at their interface. The Program includes core and elective coursework required of pre-doctoral trainees and available to post-doctoral trainees. Upon completion of training, graduates take positions in academia, government, and industry. Research areas of recent graduates include identification of genetic variants that predispose to human diseases, mapping of quantitative trait loci and determination of the genetic architecture of quantitative traits, and genetic epidemiology. Graduates find a ready market for their talents and contribute in a significant way to the successful application of the Genome Project's results and to the understanding of human health and disease. | |
