NC State provides two interrelated interdepartmental graduate programs in Genomic Sciences. Students in both Bioinformatics and Functional Genomics will complete a common core curriculum designed to foster broad understanding and facilitate cross-disciplinary teamwork.

Functional Genomics scholars concentrate on experimental research involving the generation and analysis of extensive datasets to advance understanding of biological systems, gene regulation, molecular structures, and gene-environment relationships. Bioinformatics students acquire expertise in processing and interpreting these complex omics datasets. Graduates from both programs will be equipped to collaborate effectively on teams tackling critical challenges in fields such as biomedical research, agricultural genetics, evolutionary studies, environmental science, and toxicology.

Distinctive resources include the Bioinformatics Research Center and the Genome Research Laboratory.
