MS & PhD in Biomedical Data Science
Program Focus
DBDS is committed to training the next generation of biomedical data scientists, empowering them to become leaders across academia, industry, government and nonprofit sectors. Our goal is for students to excel in the acquisition, processing and visualization of biomedical data; to develop and implement novel analytical methods to extract knowledge from it; and to master modeling, representation and retrieval of biomedical knowledge. We also require training in understanding ethical, social, economic, and legal issues and consequences of research.
Program Benefits
The graduate training program offers the PhD degree, and three MS degrees (an academic research-oriented degree, a professional distance-learning masters for part-time students, and co-terminal for Stanford undergraduates). We also have post-doctoral fellows, and offer a distance learning certificate.
Student Profile
Students in the program typically spend 2-5 years in coursework and research, depending on the degree. Some enter the program with prior graduate (MS, PhD, or MD) training.
