The Center for Proteomics and Bioinformatics offers multidisciplinary training leading to a MS or PhD in Systems Biology and Bioinformatics (SYBB). The fundamental core competencies of the SYBB program include: genes and proteins; bioinformatics and computational biology; and quantitative analysis and modeling with an emphasis on molecular systems biology. Translational Bioinformatics - Equips students to apply recent advances in genomics and proteomics to solve clinical problems in a cost-effective manner The specific academic requirements of the SYBB Program are intended to provide students with a required core curriculum in Systems Biology and a set of electives designed both to assure minimum competencies in three Fundamental Core Competencies and equip them for their particular thesis research discipline. Each trainee will be guided in a course of study by a mentoring committee to ensure the completion of training in the program competencies as well as maintenance of a focus on molecular systems theory. Fundamental Core Competencies Genes and proteins Bioinformatics and Computational Biology Quantitative Analysis and Modeling Masters Degree Plan A Summary The minimum requirements for the masterâ€™s degree under Plan A are 21 semester hours of course work plus a thesis equivalent to at least 9 semester hours of registration for 30 hours total. These must include SYBB 501 Biomedical Informatics and Systems Biology Journal Club, and a minimum of 9 hours of SYBB 651 Thesis MS. Additional required courses for the Translational Bioinformatics and Molecular and Computational Biology tracks are SYBB 459 Bioinformatics for Systems Biology and SYBB 555 Current Proteomics. Additional required courses for the Clinical Research Informatics and Applied Health Informatics tracks are SYBB 421 and SYBB 422 Clinical Informatics at the Bedside and the Bench Parts I and II. The curriculum plan must be approved by the program steering committee and include appropriate coverage of the core competencies in genes and proteins, bioinformatics, and quantitative modeling and analysis. At least 18 semester hours of course work, in addition to thesis hours, must be at the 400-level or higher. Each student must prepare an individual thesis that must conform to regulations concerning format, quality, and time of submission as established by the dean of graduate studies as well as conforming to the SYBB program guidelines. For completion of masterâ€™s degrees under Plan A, an oral examination (defense) of the masterâ€™s thesis is required, where the examination is conducted by a committee of at least three members of the university faculty. Masters Degree Plan B Summary The minimum requirements for the masterâ€™s degree under Plan B are 30 semester hours of course work (with at least 18 semester hours of course work at the 400 level or higher) and a written comprehensive examination or major project with report to be administered and evaluated by the program steering committee. The coursework must include SYBB 501Biomedical Informatics and Systems Biology Journal Club. Additional required courses for the Translational Bioinformatics and Molecular and Computational Biology tracks are SYBB 459 Bioinformatics for Systems Biology and SYBB 555 Current Proteomics. Additional required courses for the Clinical Research Informatics and Applied Health Informatics tracks are SYBB 421 and SYBB 422 Clinical Informatics at the Bedside and the Bench Parts I and II. The curriculum plan must be approved by the program steering committee and include appropriate coverage of the core competencies in genes and proteins, bioinformatics, and quantitative modeling and analysis.
