The Computational Bioengineering concentration focuses on the application of computational techniques to problems in molecular biology, genomics, biophysics, and synthetic biology. The course of study covers preparation in component disciplines of computational science, programming, biology, mathematics, physical science and statistics, as well as applications to foundational areas.
These include molecular biophysics, molecular evolution, molecular and cellular design, functional genomics, statistical genetics, and systems biology.
