Systems and synthetic bioengineering are interconnected emerging disciplines that blend experimental, computational, and theoretical approaches to address complex biomedical challenges. Systems bioengineering adopts an integrative perspective, combining extensive molecular data to clarify connections between genetic makeup and observable traits. This comprehensive view of biological systems aids in exploring fundamental questions about bodily functions, medical conditions, and treatment approaches. Synthetic bioengineering involves creating and assembling biological systems from molecular components for practical applications, with uses spanning numerous intricate medical challenges. Key obstacles in these fields include managing, processing, and analyzing enormous datasets. Investigations demand a thorough comprehension of biological systems across all scales, from molecular to ecological levels. Computational approaches in these fields incorporate diverse expertise such as mathematical modeling, advanced computing, data analysis, molecular biology, and large-scale experimental techniques to offer innovative solutions for medical research.

Qualification Requirements

Unofficial copies of transcripts from all colleges and universities attended
Applicants must have received, prior to commencing graduate study, a Bachelor's degree from an accredited institute, college, or university. Although no single field of undergraduate specialization is required, applicants to the program must have a thorough undergraduate background in engineering and life sciences. They are expected to have mastered basic material in the following areas:
mathematics (calculus through differential equations)
physics (college physics with calculus including mechanics and electronics)
chemistry (organic and/or biochemistry)
materials science (introductory course or strength of materials)
biology (introductory human anatomy or physiology)
All aspects of an application will be seriously considered during the evaluation process. However, typically successful applicants have a cumulative GPA that meets or exceeds ~3.5 and GRE scores of ~156 verbal, ~165 quantitative, ~4 analytical writing. International students should have a minimum composite TOEFL score of 90 on the internet-based test. However, students with composite TOEFL scores below 100 (internet-based test) may be required to enroll in English classes. The Department will also accept a minimum 7.5 IELTS score or 125 DUOLINGO score in lieu of the TOEFL.
