Description

The M.S. in Computational Biology program enrolls students who desire a more immediate career in industry or who wish to explore computational biology without committing to a doctoral program. It also draws returning professionals who seek to enhance their skills and practices in this new interdisciplinary field.

Coursework consists of Foundation Courses, Background Courses, and Breadth & Depth Courses in a wide array of disciplines such as computer science, machine learning, math, statistics, biology, chemistry, biomedical engineering, and information management. Students have the option of conducting in-depth research in addition to coursework and are also encouraged to seek external internships after their first year. Students pursue this degree full-time and complete the program in 3-4 semesters.

Students who have completed the program have gone on to work in a wide range of industries in biotech and pharma as well as government and academic institutions. Recent graduates have been employed at companies and institutes such as the J. Craig Venter Institute, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Philips Research, and Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, to name a few. Other graduates have gone on to pursue Ph.D. degrees at a number of top universities around the world.

The Joint CMU-Pitt PhD Program in Computational Biology (CPCB) is a joint effort between the Computational Biology Department at Carnegie Mellon and the Department of Computational Biology at the University of Pittsburgh. Its founding directors are Robert F. Murphy (CMU) and Ivet Bahar (Pitt).

By leveraging the great strengths in computation and clinical research of the two universities, CPCB graduates obtain an unparalleled education at the frontier of computational biology. Despite being a relatively young program, over fifty graduates have already begun successful careers, whether in academic research or in industry jobs.

CPCB is graciously funded in part by an NIH T32 Training Grant as part of the NIBIB-HHMI Interfaces Program.
