MSI Programs
We are committed to training, motivating and mentoring future
genomic scientists.
Former CQGF Education and Training Programs at MSI
The Center for Quantitative Genome Function conducted a vigorous education, outreach and training program in genomic and computational biology for researchers from diverse disciplines at different academic levels. The program included research training, traditional and non-traditional coursework, outreach to the scientific community, seminars, symposia and retreats for Center scientists.
Minority Action Plan
MSI was s the core site of the CQGF education and training programs for individuals from groups traditionally underrepresented in genomic science.
Post Ph.D. Training Program
MSI offered (and continues to offer) a post Ph.D. fellowship program in genomic biology for recent graduates and mid-career fellows seeking to reorient their research towards genomics.
Research Experience in Genomics and Computational Biology for Undergraduates
MSI offered (and continues to offer) an academic year research internship experience to qualified undergraduates from local Bay Area community colleges, state colleges and UC schools.
Genomic Biology Internship for High School Students
MSI offered an 8-week summer research experience for high school juniors and seniors from local area schools.
Symposia/Retreats
Symposia
The annual Alpha symposium was a key component of the Centers
efforts to disseminate research methods, tools and data from
the Alpha project. The symposia were open to the public.
Retreats
An integral part of our training program of Center scientists
was the annual Alpha project retreat where Center scientists,
Center scientific advisors, MSI external scientific advisors
and representatives from the NHGRI gathered to discuss progress
on the Alpha project.
Former courses taught by past Center members
MIT
Intercollegiate
Genetically Engineered Machine Competition. Student teams from different
schools compete to design and build genetically engineered biological systems
using DNA ‘standard parts’. This competition is co-organized
by Dr. Drew Endy.
UC Berkeley
Anthropology
112 (Special Topics in Biological Anthropology) is taught by Dr.
Roger Brent and Dr. Paul Rabinow.
