Main Subject

Anatomy and Physiology

Study Level

PHD

Systems and synthetic bioengineering are complementary emergent fields that combine experimental, computational and theoretical methods to solve challenging biomedical problems. Systems bioengineering is based on a holistic approach of integrating large amounts of molecular information to elucidate the relationship between genotype and phenotype. This multi-scale understanding of biological systems will help answer important questions about physiological systems, human disease, and therapeutic strategies. Synthetic bioengineering is the design and construction of biological systems from molecular biological components for useful purposes. Such systems have applications in a wide range of complex biomedical problems. Among the greatest challenges in these fields are how to obtain, manipulate, and interpret massive datasets. Research in this area also requires a multi-scale understanding of the system of interest, from molecules to cells to organisms to ecosystems. Computational systems and synthetic bioengineering draw from a wide range of specialties including mathematical modeling, scientific computing, signal processing, molecular biology, and high-throughput technologies to provide a unique approach to solving biomedical problems. This track draws from the rich set of resources currently available at the University of Utah to provide students with valuable interdisciplinary academic and research experiences. Students will receive training in desirable skills, including large-scale data analysis and genomic technologies, making them well-suited for careers in academia, industry, and government. Because computational systems and synthetic bioengineering are inherently interdisciplinary, the program supplements a strong bioengineering core with courses from a variety of departments. Below are summaries of the proposed course and research requirements for the track.
