A FOCUSED APPROACH
Genome Science + Technology Program
This multidisciplinary graduate program is focused on genomic research and advanced technology development offered through the Faculty of Science at the University of British Columbia. Graduate students receive a M.Sc. or Ph.D. degree in the fields of genomics and proteomics and technology development.
| Program Features | Research Areas |
| • M.Sc. and Ph.D. programs | • systems biology |
| • full graduate stipends available | • genomics and proteomics |
| • first year research rotations | • chemical biology |
| • access to leading edge technology | • bioengineering |
| • graduate courses in genome sciences | • device and instrumentation development |
| • entrance scholarships available to qualified students | • computational biology |
Program Objectives
- Generate a culture of innovation and discovery by exposing trainees at all levels to important and timely scientific problems being addressed using emerging technologies.
- Enable researchers to effectively work at the nexus of biology, engineering, and physical sciences by providing a unified training program including joint seminars, cross-disciplinary rotations, and hands-on training in new technology and methodology.
- Provide enriching professional development programs to assist the transition of trainees into both the academic and industrial workforces.
- Foster close interactions, collaborations, and intellectual exchange with other laboratories nationally and internationally.
Our goal is to be among the top 10 graduate programs in genome sciences & technology in North America
