"A new PhD track is being added to the Walter S. and Lucienne Driskill Graduate Program in Life Sciences ( DGP) for the 2026 application cycle, to enhance student learning and build community around computational biology and bioinformatics at Feinberg. The computational biology and bioinformatics (CBB) track in the graduate program will prepare students through coursework and lectures to use modern computational approaches, including machine learning and artificial intelligence, to extract biological insight from large-scale datasets to address complex biological problems."
"Feng Yue, PhD, the Duane and Susan Burnham Professor of Molecular Medicine and founding director of the Center for Cancer Genomics at the Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center of Northwestern University, is an internationally known computational biologist who has played a critical role in developing this new opportunity for DGP students. He said that this new track will prepare students for the challenges of modern biology, which is data driven and requires sequencing and use of technological tools."

The track prepares students through coursework and lectures to apply modern computational approaches, including machine learning and artificial intelligence, to extract biological insight from large-scale datasets. Feng Yue, PhD, helped develop the program and directs centers for cancer genomics and advanced molecular analysis. The program will rely on faculty contributions and act as a cross-departmental hub through lectures and workshops, enabling trainees to leverage public data to generate hypotheses and address complex biological problems.
