Directed by Michael Shelley, PhD, the Computational Biology program is designed to bring together the faculty and resources of the NYU Graduate School of Arts and Sciences (GSAS) departments of biology, chemistry, computer science, mathematics, and neuroscience, the NYU School of Medicine (Sackler), and the Mount Sinai School of Medicine to train students in the fundamentals and applications of computational methods to biological and biomedical problems involving macromolecular structure and function (proteins, DNA, RNA), genomics, and physiological systems. COB offers unique training features and program requirements to meet current scientific challenges and career opportunities in computational biology. The Sackler graduate advisor for this program is Timothy Cardozo, MD, PhD, a member of the MSTP training faculty and a graduate of our MSTP.
