Ph.D. in Genetics, Genomics and Bioinformatics
Graduate students at UAB enter the Graduate Biomedical Sciences program, which comprises eight interdisciplinary themes. The main goal of the Genetics, Genomics and Bioinformatics (GGB) theme is to provide students with an outstanding, flexible, didactic doctoral training experience to prepare them for independent and innovative careers in research.
We emphasize a broad approach to the fundamental principles of genetics and genomics, as well as bioinformatics and computational sciences.
Master of Science in Genetic Counseling
