Graduate Programs

University of Michigan

Molecular Epidemiology

Degree: Master's

📍 Michigan, USA

The Hospital and Molecular Epidemiology (HME) concentration emphasizes integrating laboratory methods with the principles and methods of epidemiology and biostatistics as applied to human health. Students obtaining an MPH in HME are poised to start careers in infection prevention, public health practice and as laboratory or project managers.

University of Pittsburgh

Public Health

Degree: Master's

📍 Pennsylvania, USA

The MPH with a concentration in Infectious Disease Pathogenesis, Eradication, and Laboratory Practice (PEL) enables students a unique educational experience, which brings together pathogen biology, immunology, and epidemiology within the broader framework of public health. Students then have the opportunity to apply what they learn in a laboratory setting.

University of Washington

Epidemiology

Degree: PhD

📍 Washington, USA

Infectious disease epidemiology is the population-based study of infectious diseases, including sexually transmitted diseases, HIV, diarrheal pathogens, and tuberculosis; and research related to vaccines and vaccine efficacy.

Yale University

Epidemiology

Degree: Master'sPhD

📍 Connecticut, USA

Faculty in Epidemiology of Microbial Diseases are working at the cutting edge in the fields of pathogen genomics and diagnostics. We use next-generation sequencing data and bioinformatic approaches to deliver on the promise of precision public health. From tracing pathogen transmission routes, examining the evolution and emergence of viral and bacterial pathogens, tracking viruses in sewage samples, and developing novel, low-cost diagnostics for SARS-CoV-2 and other respiratory pathogens, Yale School of Public Health (YSPH) makes major contributions to research and public health practice in these critical areas.

University of Nebraska

Epidemiology

Degree: Master'sPhDDrPH

📍 Nebraska, USA

The lab is interested in all things pathogen genomics. We use Next-Generation Sequencing approaches, specifically on Oxford Nanopore and Illumina platforms, to generate high-quality genomic data from a variety of different viruses and parasites. Our goal is to use these data to understand the natural history and transmission dynamics of these important pathogens. Ultimately, we want to incorporate pathogen genomics and genomic epidemiology into routine public health practice both locally and globally.

University of Wisconsin

Epidemiology

Degree: Master'sPhD

📍 Michigan, USA

University of Washington

Genetic Epidemiology

Degree: Master's

📍 Seattle, Washington, United States

The Master of Science degree offers advanced training in Genetic Epidemiology with an emphasis on quantitative and computational research skills to understand the etiology and prevention of complex diseases with genetic and environmental components. Completion of this degree prepares graduates for careers in academic institutions, health care delivery systems, public health departments, governmental agencies, and the private sector, particularly biotechnology. The core curriculum develops competencies in genetic epidemiology, epidemiology, biostatistics, and bioinformatics within the broader context of ethical, legal and social issues. The degree requires coursework in genetic epidemiology, epidemiology, biostatistics, bioinformatics, law, and bioethics. Upon completion, graduates will have been introduced to the research principles and methods that will enable them to design, conduct, analyze, and interpret genetic epidemiologic research. Successful completion requires a research-based master's thesis.
