What is CBM?

1 personalized PhD program using computational methods, often in conjunction with experimental approaches, to solve problems across a broad spectrum of biomedical disciplines

The Tri-Institutional PhD Program in Computational Biology & Medicine brings together the exceptional educational and research resources of Cornell University in Ithaca, its Medical College in New York City (Weill Cornell Medicine), Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and The Rockefeller University. Students have varied research projects from which to choose and are mentored by our unparalleled program faculty across these three outstanding campuses.

When students graduate, their research experience, prominent publications in high quality scientific journals, and presentations at both national and international conferences enable them to become leaders in computational biology.

dynamic learning environments

During their training, our students experience two exceptional environments – the beautiful college-town campus in Ithaca and the cosmopolitan excitement of New York City. Both locations provide access to world-class academic and research centers with a range of resources to enhance their graduate training experiences.
