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
Minority Action Plan
MSI is 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 offers 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 offers 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 offers an 8-week summer research experience for high school juniors and seniors from local area schools.
Symposia/Retreats
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.
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.
