Education
Training the next generation of young scientists in the art of interdisciplinary research is a critical focus of the Institute for Genomics and Systems Biology (IGSB) at the University of Chicago. The main goal of IGSB education programs is to foster scientific discovery in which biological questions are formulated and addressed in the context of complex systems. As a result, cutting-edge investigative skills emphasizing genome analysis, molecular systems modeling, and simulation are developed for professional applications. The IGSB produces graduate, post-doctoral, and faculty training programs.
The IGSB is in alliance with the Chicago Center for Systems Biology (CCSB). CCSB is one of ten National Centers for Systems Biology funded by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS). The IGSB and CCSB produce a variety of education and outreach programs for students, teachers, scientists, and the public.
