Mission
The Master of Science in Computational Genomic Medicine program addresses the growing gap between the rapid accumulation of genomics data and researchers’ and clinicians’ ability to exploit these data to improve human health.
Vision
Students in our program receive rigorous, hands-on training to turn complex datasets into patient-centered insights. Powered by an interdisciplinary ecosystem spanning 14 CWRU departments, University Hospital, and the Cleveland Clinic, the program immerses students into collaborative, clinically focused projects that accelerate workforce readiness in biomedical research, clinical genomics, and bioinformatics/data science.
Core Values
- Patient-centered impact: Prioritize translational relevance so that computational insights improve diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes.
- Scientific rigor and reproducibility: Uphold high standards in methods, validation, and responsible data stewardship (ethics, privacy, security), while encouraging innovation in computational tools, workflows, and problem-solving.
- Interdisciplinary collaboration: Foster teamwork across genomics, computation, and clinical medicine, leveraging CWRU, University Hospital, and Cleveland Clinic partnerships.
- Experiential learning and professional growth: Emphasize hands-on projects, clear communication, and career development to build workforce-ready skills.
