Why Would You Choose BDSY?
The program leverages the intellectually thriving and exceptionally rich academic environment of Yale University. BDSY is designed in partnership with multiple departments, units and centers. Our proposed summer program is intrinsically interdisciplinary.
The program primarily involves faculty from four departments at Yale University: Biostatistics and Chronic Disease and Microbial Disease Epidemiology (situated within the Yale School of Public Health), Statistics and Data Science (situated within Faculty of Arts and Sciences) and Computer Science (situated within School of Engineering). These four outstanding departments have highly successful teaching programs and methodological research that is strongly motivated by science. They each have distinct research foci which will provide both diversity and synergy to the summer program.
Our goal is to expose talented undergraduate students to health-related Big Data research and to get you inspired and excited to pursue higher education and research in the field.
Our Focus:
- Advanced Methodology: Dive deep into statistical genetics, bioinformatics , causal inference and more.
- Real-World Impact: Work on collaborative research projects with top researchers in public health medicine, engineering and statistics.
- World-Class Faculty: Benefit from Yale’s strong reputation and extensive resources.
- Educational Programs in Statistics, Data Science and Health Informatics
