Introducing: the Computational Biology Minor (CBIO-min)

  • It’s offered through Engineering as a partnership between the Dept. of Computer Science and BioFrontiers Institute
  • Open to any undergrad student, but fits well with majors/students with a biological/environmental/medical interest
  • There are FOUR courses that contribute to the CBIO-minor planned for Spring 21, so you could make good progress quickly with proper planning!
  • An advisor will reach out and share other resources, and set up an individual meeting after you submit the interest form from the webpage

What will I learn in the minor?

  • Computational biology concepts and experimental techniques
  • Representing and understanding biological data and patterns
  • Biologically relevant skills in applied math, data science & statistics, and computing
  • Modeling and predicting biological processes and dynamics
  • Biological phenomena under uncertainty with probabilistic and statistical analyses.
