Participating Departments
Each department represented in this program contributes key strengths to this interdisciplinary graduate program.
| Bioengineering is a key pioneer in the area of Bioinformatics and Systems Biology, and is consistently ranked among the top three programs nationally. |
| Biological Sciences is a premier division at UCSD and provides the anchor for the vibrant biomedical research community across departments and institutions. |
| Biomedical Sciences is an interdisciplinary Ph.D. program, based in the School of Medicine, with tracks in Pharmacology, Physiology, and Cellular and Molecular Medicine. It is closely linked to the School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences and has computational pharmacogenomics and bioinformatics. |
| Chemistry and Biochemistry is a focal point of bottom-up Systems Biology and mathematical modeling of biological circuits. It is highly recognized for its strong computational biology program and structure-function/mechanisms oriented research. |
| Computer Science and Engineering is unique in having a critical mass of faculty whose research interests focus on biology. These faculty have very strong collaborative research interactions with biology, chemistry, and engineering researchers. |
| Mathematics has built increasing expertise in the area of bioinformatics with emphasis on statistics and probability. This focus is one of fundamental importance for the future of bioinformatics. |
| Physics is home to leaders in the field of computational statistical mechanics applied to biology and provides the foundation for sophisticated modeling of complex biological systems, and information/theory-based models of biological systems. |
In addition to the core departments, faculty from a number of other departments have joined the graduate program in Bioinformatics and Systems Biology.
