In addition to our own research-based MPhil, the department of Genetics is also involved with two related MPhil courses, the MPhil Computational Biology and the MPhil in Biological Sciences – admissions to these are organised by their own course committees, not by the Department, and you need to apply to them directly.
MPhil Computational Biology
The MPhil in Computational Biology course is aimed at introducing students in the biological, mathematical and physical sciences to quantitative aspects of modern biology and medicine, including bioinformatics. The course was developed by the Cambridge Computational Biology Institute (now C2D3 Computational Biology) and is run by the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics. Genetics teaching also forms a component of the multidisciplinary course.
Richard Durbin, Gos Micklem and Aylwyn Scally of the Department of Genetics are module organisers. Gos Micklem [Department of Genetics/DAMTP] is the co-Director.
If you have specific queries about the MPhil in Computational Biology course or would like to know more information please go to their website, here, or email them at compbiomphil@maths.cam.ac.uk.
MPhil in Biological Sciences
