...creating a new breed of scientist, one who
uses computational and mathematical methods
to solve biological and medical problems.

The Tri-Institutional Graduate Program in Computational Biology and Medicine (CBM) seeks to recruit highly qualified students from a broad range of backgrounds for a unique interdisciplinary educational opportunity.

This Ph.D. program trains students to use computational and analytical methods to solve problems in biology and medicine from the protein level to the organ level.The CBM program brings together the exceptional educational and research resources of Cornell University in Ithaca, its Medical College in NYC (Weill Medical College of Cornell University), and Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center to provide a unique training opportunity at the forefront of computational biology and biomedical research.

Thesis requirements are outlined in the "Thesis and Thesis Committee requirements" section. Students may choose a thesis lab in any of the Tri-Institutions after completing both the required graduate courses as defined by the Computational Biology field course requirements and the required number of laboratory rotations.
