NIH Training Program The Bioinformatics Graduate Program holds a NIGMS Training Grant. The interdisciplinary Bioinformatics Graduate Program was initiated with faculty from eight departments (Bioengineering, Biology, Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Chemistry and Biochemistry, Computer Science, Mathematics and Statistics, Pharmacology, and Physics) across the Schools of Biological Sciences, Engineering, Physical Sciences and Medicine. During the five years of its existence, the Bioinformatics Graduate Program has attracted some of the best students in the Country. The program was initiated with 37 faculty and has now grown to 54; 5 of the original 37 have moved to other institutions. Of the 54 current faculty, 11 new faculty members have been recruited since 2001 and the Bioinformatics Graduate Program has been a critical aspect of the recruitment of those faculty whose research interests involve bioinformatics, computational and systems biology. Several units within and associated with UCSD provide strong support for the Bioinformatics Program. The San Diego Supercomputer Center, the Whitaker Institute for Biomedical Engineering, the National Biomedical Computational Resource, the Center for Theoretical Biological Physics, The California Institute for Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology, and the Salk Institute for Biological Studies are amongst those that support the Program. The UCSD Administration has designated Bioinformatics and Systems Biology as a key growth area and in addition to recruitment of several faculty (Trey Ideker, Jeffrey Hasty and Xiaohua Huang in Bioengineering, Nicholas Schork and Bing Ren in Medicine, Vineet Bafna in Computer Science, Glenn Tesler in Mathematics, Alexander Hoffmann and Wei Wang in Chemistry and Biochemistry, Amy Kiger and John Huelsenbeck in Biology). |
