Center Programs
We are committed to training, motivating and mentoring future
genomic scientists. The Center for Quantitative Genome Function
conducts a vigorous education, outreach and training program
in genomic and computational biology for researchers from
diverse disciplines at different academic levels. The program
includes research training, traditional and non-traditional
coursework, outreach to the scientific community, seminars,
symposia and retreats for Center scientists.
CQGF Education and Training Programs at MSI
Post Ph.D. Training Program
MSI offers a post Ph.D. fellowship program in genomic biology for recent graduates and mid-career transition fellows seeking to reorient their research towards genomics.
Symposia
The annual Alpha symposium is a key component of the Centers
efforts to disseminate research methods, tools and data from
the Alpha project. The symposia are open to the public.
Retreats
An integral part of our training program of Center scientists
is the annual Alpha project retreat where Center scientists,
Center scientific advisors, MSI external scientific advisors
and representatives from the NHGRI gather to discuss progress
on the Alpha project.
Genomic Biology Internship
for High School Students
MSI offers an 8-week summer research experience for high school juniors and seniors
from local area schools.
Science Fairs
MSI collaborates with Science Buddies to develop materials to assist students who wish to do genomics based projects for science fairs. MSI also sponsors a Best Genomics Science Fair Project competition.
Research training programs at other Center labs
Training opportunities for undergraduates, graduates and post-doctoral scholars
are frequently available at other Center labs. For information, contact the
co-investigator at the appropriate institution.
