<ul> <li>Provides students with educational and research training in broad areas of computational, evolutionary, and functional genomics</li> <li>Offers optional specialization in algorithms and computation and statistical genomics</li> <li>Delivers problem-based instruction, starting with exposure to bioinformatics and genomics tools and moving on to in-depth analysis of genomic and proteomic data</li> <li>Positions students to be competitive for NIH-funded training fellowships in the “Computation, Bioinformatics, and Statistics”, “Biomedical Big Data to Knowledge”, or “Eukaryotic Gene Regulation” programs</li> <li>Offers both M.S. and Ph.D. programs, including laboratory rotations</li><li>The Penn State Bioinformatics & Genomics program does not accept or consider GRE scores as part of our admission decision process. We employ a holistic review based on several criteria including academic performance, research experience, participation in scientific and professional development activities, and accomplishments outside of academia, among others</li></ul> <h3>Opportunities for Underrepresented Minorities and Students with Disability </h3> <p>The bioinformatics and genomics program actively recruits students of diversity and disability. Senior undergraduate students interested in gaining research experience may consider attending the <a href="https://gradschool.psu.edu/equity/summer-research-opportunities" target="_blank">Summer Research Opportunity Program (SROP)</a> and <a href="https://gradschool.psu.edu/equity/open-house" target="_blank" data-auth="NotApplicable">J. Jeffrey and Ann Marie Fox Graduate School Open House</a>. Accommodations are available for students with <a href="https://equity.psu.edu/offices/student-disability-resources" target="_blank" data-auth="NotApplicable">disabilities</a>. Students are considered for <a href="https://www.huck.psu.edu/graduate-programs/training-grants">predoctoral trainee fellowship</a> support.</p> <div class="modal fade" id="imagemodal" tabindex="-1"
