چکیده
The Division of Biostatistics offers two training programs in Genetic Epidemiology, a postdoctoral master's degree (GEMS) and a certificate program. These programs provide a multidisciplinary educational opportunity for people who want to work at the dynamic nexus of genetics and medicine. There are growing needs for scientists with this training both in academia and industry. With the wealth of data from the Human Genome Project and the availability of powerful new computational approaches, abundant opportunities are now available to explore and characterize the interplay between genes and the environment that affect the biological processes that underlie disease.
