| The PhD Program in Computational Biology & Bioinformatics (CBB) is an integrative, multi-disciplinary training program that encompasses the study of biology using computational and quantitative methods. CBB students are educated and mentored in classes, labs and research projects with faculty from multiple departments and disciplines, spanning the biological and computational disciplines, and medical and non-medical departments. In and out of the classroom, students learn to apply the tools of statistics, mathematics, computer science and informatics to biological problems. The vibrant and innovative Duke research in these fields provides exciting interactions between biological and computational scientists. |
