Graduate Students already admitted into Tri-I M.Sc or PhD CBM, the PBSB program, Tri-I MD/PhD program, Cornell Ithaca BME, or other Cornell / Cornell Tech graduate programs

Rotate with us! We have plenty of exciting computational projects.

Prospective Students

Indeed I seek passionate and motivated graduate students to join my group. Please read below:

1) Prospective students in my group must first get admitted to one of our graduate programs (Tri-I CBM or PBSB) or sometimes Cornell Ithaca/Cornell Tech. For Weill Cornell programs, you can apply through this link . Please ensure all your application materials are submitted by the December 1st deadline. Please elaborate your interest in working with me in your Statement of Purpose and in the Faculty & Research Interests part of your online application.

2) I strongly believe that the nature of computational biology research is such that the work of highest impact usually involves the combination of cutting edge technology, computer science and mathematical innovation, and medical and molecular biological insight. In contrast with traditional Computer Science or Engineering programs, our competitive Tri-I CBM and PBSB programs offer unprecedented level of interdisciplinary training and a great deal of flexibility in cutting edge research. Our graduate students come from a wide array of backgrounds including computer science, engineering, medicine, natural sciences and mathematics. Those interested in joining my group will be mostly focused on algorithms, machine learning and deep learning skills with applications to genomics, cancer research, and sequencing technology development.

3) We take our students from a wide range of graduate programs:

a) Tri-I CBM MS Program

The Tri-Institutional Training Program in Computational Biology and Medicine or Tri-I CBM is a Master's program in Weill Cornell Medical College with a partnership between the Cornell University in Ithaca and Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC). For more information please check here.

b) Tri-I CBM PhD Program

The Tri-Institutional Training Program in Computational Biology and Medicine or Tri-I CBM is a PhD program in Weill Cornell Medical College with a partnership between the Cornell University in Ithaca and Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC). For more information please check here.

c) The PBSB PhD Program

The Program in Physiology Biophysics and Systems Biology is an integral graduate program of the Weill Graduate School of Medical Sciences of Cornell University in New York City. Please check here for more information.

d) The Tri-Institutional MD/ PhD Program

The Tri-Institutional MD-PhD Program is training physician-scientists who will become the next generation of leaders in biomedical research. Weill Cornell Medical College, The Rockefeller University and Memorial Sloan Kettering combine to form one of the few inter-institutional collaborations dedicated to join MD and PhD training. Please check here for more information.

e) Cornell University (Ithaca / Cornell Tech) graduate programs

Weill Cornell is the biomedical research unit and medical school of Cornell University. We occasionally mentor students from related Cornell University programs (e.g. Engineering).
