Statistical Genetics Programs

[azl90]

Hello,

 

I am completing a masters degree at statistics at a mid-ranked university. I want to go to a good Phd program focusing on statistical genetics, especially cancer genetics. But I don't know which ones are the best programs for this---I have guesses, like Johns Hopkins and Harvard but that's it.

 

I'd appreciate any help!

I would also recommend University of Washington

http://www.stat.washington.edu/statgen/

and University of Michigan

http://csg.sph.umich.edu/

 

Pretty much any top-ten biostats PhD program is likely to have at least a few people working on applications to statistical genetics and/or cancer.

 

You could also browse the CVs of researchers at major cancer research centers and see where they did their PhDs:

Also consider: Berkeley Biostat and NC State stat.

Thank you both very much! Based on that I did some digging and along with the recommendations of Wash, Michigan, Berkely and NC State I found some people who came from from Stanford, Texas A&M, and Rice.
