Dear Prospective Students:
Biomedical research is increasingly becoming a genome-based,
information-rich science. As a
result, biologists having computational and statistical skills and
computational/statistical
scientists having strong biological and chemistry backgrounds are currently
in short supply and
expected to be in high demand for years to come. Hunter College has taken
the lead at CUNY
in addressing this challenge by offering five new curriculum options to our
science students.
Undergraduates majoring in biology, chemistry, computer science, mathematics
and statistics
can now pursue a concentration in bioinformatics. Students enrolled in
these programs (called
QuBi, http://darwin.hunter.cuny.edu/QuBi/) take interdisciplinary courses
across the
departments, while reducing the number of courses required by regular major
curriculum.
There is no increase in total number of credits for graduation.
Currently more than a dozen students from Biology, Computer Science,
Math/Stat and
Chemistry have taken the QuBi option since the first offering in Fall 2005.
Since quantitative biology is highly interdisciplinary, there are entry
requirements for students
enrolled in the QuBi programs. For further information, please consult the
QuBi advisor in your
discipline listed on the website. If you want to speak to someone, you may
stop by during the
office hours of Dr Weigang Qiu, QuBi Program Director, every Tuesday 3-5 pm.
