Training and Research Areas

The McGill-Kyoto Joint Ph.D. in Genomic Medicine is designed to provide training at the interface between genetics, genomics, other high throughput experimental methodologies, and quantitative analysis in biomedicine. Each student will have two designated supervisors, one from each university.

Eligible research areas include:

• Quantitative genetics

• Population genetics

• Genetic/genomic epidemiology

• High-throughput experimental methods in biology associated with quantitative analysis of data

• Bioinformatics and computational genomics

Students are free to propose their own research topics in these and other areas subject to acceptance by their supervisors.
