Education

Graduate students can choose to be affiliated with IBEST. These individuals will most often work in the laboratories of faculty affiliated with IBEST, and work on IBEST-related research projects. These students can choose to be in disciplinary degree programs of academic departments, or interdisciplinary programs such as the Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (BCB) degree program. These individuals are expected to attend IBEST sponsored functions, including IBEST seminars and IBEST luncheons.
Bioinformatics & Computational Biology
Bioinformatics and Computational Biology is a highly flexible interdisciplinary graduate program that prepares students to conduct research in academics, health sciences, agriculture, and other industries.
