BMSIP Project span a wide range of biological and biomedical subject areas.<\/p>\n

Project Criteria<\/h2>\n

BMSIP projects meet the following criteria:<\/p>\n

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