Provides training in genetic epidemiology, statistical and computational genetics, biostatistcs, and bioinformatics.

Master of Science Degree
Although the entry summer 2009 application deadline was February 15, late applicants are still encouraged to apply. Contact the Program Manager for information: pa@wubios.wustl.edu

Computational Track (July 1-August 15 of the following year)
This 14-month GEMS computational track offers excellent training in genetic epidemiology methods and software for undergraduates majoring in biology and/or mathematics/statistics, and prepares graduates for employment in academia, industry or to prepare for further graduate studies.

Clinical Track (July 1-June 15 of the following year)
The 12-month GEMS clinical track offers more flexible training for physician scientists and other clinical investigators, particularly post-doctoral fellows in early stages of career development. While we anticipate that the typical students would be fellows and junior faculty, we recognize that some senior faculty may also seek to broaden their skill set by pursuing the GEMS “Clinical” track.

Certificate in Genetic Epidemiology
Application deadline May 15, 2009 for entry summer 2009.
Earlier applications encouraged. Rolling admissions on a space available basis beginning February 15.

The Certificate can be earned after successful completion of four intensive summer courses plus corresponding computer labs of the M.S. degree program, taken over one or two consecutive Summers. It is designed to serve research and medical employees, first-year medical students, and others who want to learn the fundamentals of Genetic Epidemiology and SAS.
