Information for Prospective Students
Students interested in Ph.D. studies in CBCB have a number of
choices. While we do not have a Ph.D. program specifically in
Bioinformatics, our faculty supervise Ph.D. research in
bioinformatics through a number of different graduate programs. Links
to these programs can be found on this page, and potential students
are encouraged to apply to the Ph.D. program that best matches their
interests.
Students with a background in computer science, mathematics,
physics, or other mathematically oriented fields should consider
applying to the Ph.D. program in Computer Science or in
Bioengineering. The Bioengineering program has been in place at the
University of Maryland for several years, and in 2006 Bioengineering
was launched as a new Department, which is slated to grow
substantially over the next five years. Students whose principal
training is in the biological sciences might prefer to apply to one
of several departmental or inter-department programs listed below.
Students with training in physics or chemistry might want to consider
the Chemical Physics program. CBCB Faculty participate in each of
these programs, allowing students with an interest in Bioinformatics
to pursue a Ph.D. in the program that bests fits their previous
training.
See the links below for instructions on how to apply to each
program. Once admitted to a program, students are encouraged to
contact faculty directly to discuss their interests further.
