| The graduate program in Genetic and Molecular Epidemiology focuses on the theory and application of the tools essential to this emerging field. Primary attention is given to statistical and scientific methodologies. Courses specific to this program include principles of genetic epidemiology, statistical methods in human genetics, linkage analysis, population genetics, and computational methods in genetic epidemiology. The Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics also offers the traditional courses in epidemiology and biostatistics. The student is expected to specialize either in developing methodology, in which case additional statistical courses would be relevant, or in substantive research, in which case additional epidemiology courses would be relevant. Plentiful research opportunities exist within the program, and ongoing research is discussed during seminars and frequent informal meetings with faculty. Graduates are equipped for leadership roles in academia, government and industry. |
