人类与统计遗传学哲学博士

人类与统计遗传学博士学位。圣路易斯华盛顿大学的计划提供了一种跨学科的方法，以培养具有分析/统计，计算和人类遗传方法的未来科学家来研究人类疾病。进行人类遗传学研究的生物学专业学生将获得必要的定量技能，以分析其数据集。从最初的实验设计到数据分析和解释，生物统计学家将获得成为人类遗传学研究各个阶段的知识合作者所必需的生物学技能和知识。ââ€â€该课程允许学生专注于：•人类遗传学或统计统计学遗传学。专注于人类遗传学的学生将主修生物科学，并且至少具有分析/统计/计算领域的最低背景知识。专注于统计遗传学的学生将拥有
The Human and Statistical Genetics Ph.D. Program at Washington University in St. Louis offers an interdisciplinary approach to preparing future scientists with analytical/statistical, computational, and human genetic methods for the study of human disease. Biology students performing human genetics research will acquire the necessary quantitative skills to analyze their datasets. Biostatisticians will acquire the biological skills and knowledge necessary to become intellectual collaborators in all phases of human genetics research, from initial experimental design through data analysis and interpretation. - This program allows students to specialize in: ?Human Genetics? or ?Statistical Genetics?. Students focusing on Human Genetics will have majored in the biological sciences and have at least a minimum background in analytical/ statistical/ computational area. Students focusing on Statistical Genetics will have majors in statistical/ mathematical/ analytical sciences with at least a certain minimum background in biology. Training will address human/mammalian genetics, statistical genetics, and bioinformatics. A typical student in this program will pursue a dissertation devoted either to the development of novel analytical method(s) needed to solve a certain biological problem (Statistical Genetics), or human genetic research employing state-of the art molecular tools (Human genetics).
