Master of Science in Computational
Molecular Biology
The Computational Molecular Biology Masters was a masters that combines
math, computer science, and molecular biology including courses in these
subjects. The degree took three and a half years from 2005 to 2008,
two years of classes and one year and a half to complete a 300 paged Masters
Thesis done at Stanford that won the "Best Thesis" award in the school of
science. Below are the recommendations, awards, and sample classwork
that is a part of this degree. This degree involved the mathematical
and computational analysis of genetic and proteomic sequences as well as the
understanding of biomolecular techniques and computer simluations of
biological phenomena such as the growth of the brain of C. Elegans as was
done in the thesis. Courses included: Molecular Biology (I, II,
& III), Statistics for Bioinformatics, Bioinformatics, Advanced
Bioinformatics (including Chemoinformatics), Courses in C++ including Data
Structures, Perl Programming, Graduate Computer Simulation, Neurobiology,
Functional Genomics, Developmental Genetics, Stochastic Processes (advanced
Math), and others completed with a 3.84 GPA. This degree
prepared me to be able to work not only in the computer industry but also in
the biotech industry. Very few people have this combination of
knowledge.
