Similarly, student who specializes in computational biology, for example, is expected to receive substantial training in areas such as molecular genetics and in particular to obtain laboratory experience

Students in GCB participate in courses, seminars, and retreats organized by the associated academic units in GCB are enhanced through association with two additional units the Penn Center for Bioinformatics PCBI, which provides focus for bioinformatics and genomics research and service to Penn, and the Penn Genomics Institute, established to provide intellectual leadership in studying genomes as whole and undertaking largescale analysis of gene products by integrating associated disciplines at Penn. Applicants are expected to have strong background in one or more relevant fields, such as molecular genetics and in particular to obtain laboratory experience in such areas.
