Projects

BMSIP Project span a wide range of biological and biomedical subject areas. We are always happy to schedule a meeting and talk about potential proposals that may be suitable for our students.

Project Criteria

BMSIP projects meet the following criteria:

  1. Are entirely computational. No extensive wetlab work is permitted.
  2. Primarily involve analysis of biological data, which may include:
    1. high throughput sequencing data (e.g. whole genome sequencing, single cell/bulk RNASeq, etc)
    2. proteomics data (e.g. mass spectra)
    3. biomedical imaging (e.g. histological imaging)
    4. biomedical health record data
  3. Any data to be analyzed must already exist prior to project start
  4. Primarily utilize bioinformatics skills and techniques covered by the MS Curriculum, which may include
    1. Biological sequence analysis (e.g. sequence alignment, genome assembly, etc)
    2. Statistical analysis
    3. Data Visualization
    4. Machine learning and AI
  5. May be focused on:
    1. Biological discovery
    2. Bioinformatics algorithm development
    3. Biological analysis software development (e.g. analysis pipelines)
