Fostering new paradigms for the biological sciences.
The Genomic Sciences Training Program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison aims to train the New Biologists, enabling them to gain strengths bridging multiple disciplines needed for an integrated approach to solving complex problems in genomics research. GSTP faculty trainers are in 14 different departments spanning physical, chemical, biological, and computational approaches.
The University of Wisconsin-Madison has built on its core of genomic scientists in recent years and developed the Genomic Sciences Training Program for both predoctoral and postdoctoral fellows covering broad aspects of investigations into genomic science. A cluster hiring initiative in Genomic Science was recently completed and brought together outstanding faculty from a span of disciplines. A new building dedicated to genomic science and genetics was completed spring 2004, and was designed to foster collaborations and to project a tangible presence on campus. This program will train the next generation of genomicists in multiple disciplines. These disciplines include chemistry, engineering, computer science, biostatistics, genetics, biochemistry, molecular medicine and molecular biology.
CIBM
Computation and Informatics in Biology and Medicine
George N. Phillips, Jr.
Program Director
The
University of Wisconsin - Madison is proud to sponsor an interdisciplinary
predoctoral and postdoctoral bioinformatics training program, funded
by a grant from The National Library of Medicine, with additional
support from the University of Wisconsin Graduate School and departments
across campus.
The CIBM mission is to provide modern training for a new generation
of researchers wishing to solve biomedical problems requiring strengths
in both computational and biological science.
Ph. D. students who are eligible for this interdisciplinary training
include those majoring in computer sciences, statistics, genetics,
biochemistry, engineering, and other computational areas and biological
science disciplines from five colleges across campus. By participating
in the Computation and Informatics Training Program, computer scientists,
statisticians, and engineers receive cross-disciplinary training
in biological sciences. Similarly, biologists receive cross-disciplinary
training in statistics, engineering and computational areas related
to biomedical research problems.
