ENGRBS16 - Engineering (BS): Biomedical Computation

Quantitative and computational methods are central to advancing biology and medicine in the 21st century. These methods span analyzing biomedical data, constructing computational models for biological systems, and designing computer systems that help biologists and physicians create and administer treatments to patients. The Biomedical Computation major prepares students to work at the cutting edge of this interface between computer science, biology, and medicine. Students begin their journey by acquiring foundational knowledge of biological and computational disciplines. They learn techniques in informatics and simulation and their numerous applications in understanding and analyzing biology at all levels, from individual molecules in cells to entire organs, organisms, and populations. Students then focus on a depth area of their choosing and participate in a substantial research project with a Stanford faculty member. Upon graduation, students are prepared to enter a range of disciplines in either academia or industry.

The Biomedical Computation program is a subplan under the program program. Please take a look at this program for complete degree requirements.
