There are also a variety of opportunities for experience at several nearby hazardous waste, environmental response and worker training programs. The program in Biostatistics emphasizes applied statistics in the medical, biologic, and environmental worlds. Graduates have good positions in industry, academia, and government. Combine molecular biology, genetics, proper methodology, and your insight. Fellowships and tuition remission are available on a competitive basis.
Many students have work-study programs.
This masters, doctoral and postdoctoral program is designed to provide advanced courses and hands-on laboratory experience to understand the relationships between environmental exposure and human diseases. Students are trained to develop and test new hypotheses, and to communicate the significance of their findings. Emphasis is placed on developing the skills to identify the current gaps in the toxicology literature and to acquire the data to provide a better understanding of the cellular and subcellular mechanisms of environmental causes of disease. The curriculum places equal emphasis on the understanding of modern molecular biology, cell biology and physiology so that students acquire an integrative understanding of normal and pathological conditions. Underlying this interest in biomedical science is a development in the understanding of sources of exposure, deposition, dose, and the fate of chemicals within the body.
