Biomedical informatics is a rapidly developing field whose content matter is, above all, the use of computers and information technologies (IT), system approach, statistics and epidemiology, and mathematical methodologies in medicine. Biomedical informatics is experiencing permanent development, and at present, it is focused on these major problem areas: the area of support to clinical decision-making, biomedical statistics, robotics, computer modeling, image processing; and the area of medical information systems. In clinical medicine, it means the following areas: clinical computing, analyses of images, issues of biosignal, computer modeling, artificial intelligence (including expert systems), support of decision-making, issues of statistics and biometrics, classification in medicine, computers in operating the devices, robotic and artificial organs. In the areas of information systems, the issues of their implementation in health care settings are tackled as well as specific questions of data protection and ethical problems and creation of hospital information systems. In the areas of theoretical medicine, it is mainly about modeling physiologic functions and issues of bioinformatics. The program is carried out without any specialization.

The Teaching Division of Biomedical Sciences offers a wide range of specialization tracks, combining research and studies in medical and life sciences with emphasis on understanding the functioning of the human body in situations of health and disease. The program prepares its graduates for teaching and research positions in academic institutions, and research and works in knowledge-intensive industries, hospitals, and healthcare systems.

Initiated about 20 years ago, the PhD Program in Biomedical Sciences is an interdisciplinary graduate program, providing rigorous training in modern cell and molecular biology. The departmental faculty provides a highly interdisciplinary and intensely collaborative training environment.

The subject of the study program within the concept of the complex biomedical fields is the issue of physical processes in a living organism, the influence of physical factors on living organisms, and the use of modern physical methods in biomedical fields. Biophysics, as an interdisciplinary field, offers doctoral (Ph.D.) study to university graduates of various specializations (medicine, natural sciences, mathematics, physics, etc.). The study program is carried out in collaboration with the Institute of Physiology of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic.

A PhD student must:

Our undergraduate program in Biopharmaceutical Sciences prepares you for graduate work in pharmacy, medicine, dentistry, biomedical engineering, business, finance and law. Through innovative coursework and independent research opportunities, the program instills you with skills in pharmaceutical sciences, business, marketing, product development and lifecycle, and medical product development and use. You’ll leave the program positioned for employment at leading research universities and in industry, government or any research-centric arena.

The PhD in Translational Medicine is a three-year Programme. The Mission of Pro- gram is to educate and train post-gradua- te students with different academic backgrounds and highly motivated to pursue a career in experimental biomedicine and/or clinical research.

Joint LSU and UT Ph.D. study in Biology consolidated research in the area of Biology, and they ensure more integrated and substantial investigations of scientific problems in biology.

Once accepted into either the Ph.D. in Biomedical Science, or the Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering program, and prior to the identification of a dissertation mentor, students will be advised by the First Year Advisory Committee (FYA). There is an FYA committee member at each partner institution.

Mercer's PhD in Biomedical Sciences (BMS) Program is designed to provide high-quality training to prepare graduates for a successful career in biomedical research, whether in academia or industry. The program is designed to be completed in five years with a possible extension if needed. Students will work closely with research mentors in Department of Biomedical Sciences on any of the School's three campuses: Columbus, Macon, or Savannah. The students will have the opportunity to choose research projects in various biomedical disciplines including biochemistry, neuroscience, microbiology, virology, cancer biology, cardiology, immunology, toxicology, and physiology.

The University of Texas School of Biomedical Informatics at Houston (SBMI) offers a full-time doctoral program in Biomedical Informatics designed to be inherently trans-disciplinary and integrative. Involving students with various backgrounds, the program emphasizes fundamental informatics concepts that can apply to all health disciplines.

The University of Iowa (UI) Carver College of Medicine is at the forefront of biomedical science, consistently ranking among the top public research institutions in the country in research activity, federal funding, graduate education, and core facility support.

Students for the Ph.D. program in Oral & Craniofacial Biomedical Sciences in the Department of Biomedical Sciences receive training in the broad fields of Craniofacial development and genetics, Bioengineering and regeneration, Mineralized tissue biology, and Neuroscience and pain. This training includes the advanced study of cell and molecular mechanisms, experimental studies, and clinical studies of development, growth, aging, function, disease, and treatment. Work leading to the degree of doctor of philosophy (Ph.D.) is designed to give the candidate a thorough and comprehensive knowledge of a professional field and training in methods of research. The final basis for granting the degree is the candidate's mastery of the subject matter of a broad field of study and the demonstrated ability to do independent research. In addition, the candidate must acquire the ability to express thoughts clearly in both oral and written language.

Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute's Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences is an interdisciplinary program that offers training in a wide range of biological research areas.

Students seeking an M.S. or Ph.D. degree in core areas of animal and human health can do so through the UW School of Veterinary Medicine’s Comparative Biomedical Sciences (CBMS) Graduate Program. This highly ranked program integrates faculty from a wide variety of departments throughout the school and the UW-Madison campus and offers a unique research training experience for its students.
