Graduate Studies in Bioinformatics
If you are majoring in one of the following areas:
* biological discipline (biology, genetics, microbiology, molecular biology, medicine)
* quantitative science (computer science, mathematics, physics, engineering, statistics)
If you have significant experience in a second one of these fields, and strong academic qualifications, the Strategic Training Program in Bioinformatics might be what you’re looking for. You can study in Vancouver, BC, Canada for a Masters or a Ph.D.
The Strategic Training Program in Bioinformatics is a partnership among Simon Fraser University, the University of British Columbia, and the BC Cancer Research Centre, and is sponsored by the Canadian Institutes for Health Research (CIHR), Michael Smith Foundation for Health Research (MSFHR) and Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.
In addition to academic course work, students will conduct research rotations in both computational and biologically-oriented laboratories, and the program’s mentors will personally guide your progress.
Scholarship Application Deadline: for international applications is February 4, 2011 and for Canadian and American applications is March 4, 2011
