Ph.D. in Genomics

Ph.D. in Genomics is an advanced research degree that studies genomic structure, function, evolution, and mapping. The curriculum, which typically lasts 3-5 years, focuses on gene expression, genomic sequencing, bioinformatics, personalized medicine, and the role of genomics in cancer, genetic disorders, and infectious diseases. Students conduct cutting-edge research using high-throughput sequencing technology, computational biology, and functional genomics to learn how genes and their interactions affect health and illness. Graduates of the program work in academia, the pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, healthcare research, and government and commercial research agencies. Admission normally requires a Master's degree in molecular biology, bioinformatics, genetics, or a related field, as well as good laboratory and computational skills.
