Computational methods and tools are key driver of advances in biology and medicine in the 21st century.
The analysis of biomedical data, the construction of computational models for biological and chemical entities and systems, and the design and implementation of computer systems that help biologists and physicians create and administer treatments to patients all rely on an interdisciplinary understanding of the computational and biomedical sciences.
The Biomedical Computation major is an Interdepartmental Program (IDP) housed in the School of Engineering that brings together faculty, courses, and research from the School of Engineering, School of Humanities and Sciences, and School of Medicine to engage students at the cutting edge of this interface between computer science, biology, and medicine.
