Computational Biology Certificate and Courses

Students in the biomedical science programs in SGS have the opportunity to take computational classes regardless of their specific discipline. This aligns with the goal of the NIH that each graduate program provides training opportunities in addition to their technical courses that equip trainees with quantitative/computational approaches. 

 

Computational Biology Certificate (CBC) for Rutgers PhD Students

Program code 032 (12 credit certificate completed over 1-2 years)

Event Description

Deans Millonig and Alder will present an overview of programs and world class resources available to Rutgers graduate students including an active career exploration and development program called iJOBS.

Current PhD and MD/PhD students will have a panel discussion so you can have your questions answered and learn about programs in:

  • Molecular Biosciences (Biochemistry, Cell and Developmental Biology, Cellular and Molecular Pharmacology, Microbiology and Molecular Genetics, Physiology, and Integrative Biology)
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Neuroscience
  • Nursing
  • Toxicology
  • Exposure Science
  • Public Health

Event Description

In this workshop, we will explore how we can employ learning outcomes to support our students’ learning experience. Whether we set goals for an entire semester, for a specific module, a class, or a small activity: Deciding on the outcome and planning backwards will not only help our students but also sharpen our own perspective and teaching practice.

Research

The Cai lab studies the molecular and cellular mechanisms of neural development and regeneration after injury. Using in vitro and in vivo models, combining tissue engineering and computational approaches, we aim to develop therapeutic applications for spinal cord injury and retinal diseases. Current research efforts are focused on the following three projects:

  • Development of gene therapy for spinal cord injury
  • Molecular mechanism of retinal development and degenerative diseases
  • Computational analysis of gene expression and regulation
