Graduate training in Bioinformatics

摘要 更新是要求在生物信息学长期和成功的培训计划， 北卡罗来纳州州立大学，支持8名博士前学员和2名博士后 实习生该应用程序建立在NC生物信息学研究生课程的成功基础上 国家，其中产生了近50个硕士和60个博士毕业生在生物信息学，因为 1999年，节目开始。该计划和环境已大大 更新后的重点是环境卫生生物信息学（EHB）培训，由额外的 教师和新的研究计划。过去的博士毕业生受雇于学术， 政府或行业职位。研究生培训计划的先决条件是 数学、统计学、计算机和遗传学。博士候选人从事课程工作 生物信息学，计算机科学，遗传学，基因组学和统计学两年， 预计将在五年内完成该项目。该计划的重大调整 环境和相关健康科学包括招聘更多的教师 成员，增加现有的北卡罗来纳州教师谁带来大量的环境 专业知识和空间环境分析的新优势。新的组合 学生委员会的数据/信息结构将确保适当的进展和重点， 确保学生的成功。

Abstract Renewal is requested for a long-standing and successful training program in bioinformatics at North Carolina State University, with support for 8 predoctoral trainees and 2 postdoctoral trainees. The application builds on the success of the bioinformatics graduate program at NC State, which has produced nearly 50 Master's and 60 PhD graduates in Bioinformatics since the beginning of the program in 1999. The program and environment have been substantially updated to focus on environmental health bioinformatics (EHB) training, supported by additional faculty and new research programs. Past doctoral graduates are employed in academic, government, or industry positions. The graduate training program has prerequisites in mathematics, statistics, computing, and genetics. Ph.D. candidates are engaged in coursework in bioinformatics, computer science, genetics, genomics, and statistics for two years, and are expected to complete their program within five years. The substantial re-focusing of the program on environmental and related health sciences has included recruitment of additional faculty members, the addition of existing NC State faculty who bring substantial environmental expertise, and a new strength in spatial-environmental analysis. A new combined data/informatics structure for student committees will ensure appropriate progress and focus to ensure student success.
