Research | Dissertation Advisors

The faculty below are Dissertation Advisor (DA) Members of the Graduate Program in Computational and Integrative Biology (translation: they run experimental or computational labs that are generally open to CCIB graduate students). In practice, all faculty on this list are also tightly integrated into research at the center. These faculty can advise CCIB PhD or MS students, although in any given year, the lab may or may not be accepting students. While PhD students are restricted to these labs, if you are an MS student, you may work with any of the CCIB full members who are willing. If they are not on the list below and you want to continue in their lab for a PhD, they would need to apply to the graduate program director to get on this list.

The list is divided into experimental and computational labs. “Experimental” labs may also use some computational techniques, while “computational” labs are those that are purely computational and do not directly collect any experimental data.  Many of these labs collaborate with each other, so students may learn techniques in one lab and apply them to the research questions in a different lab.
