qCMB Faculty
There are ~40 qCMB faculty preceptors, many of whom use approaches such as next generation sequencing, mass spectrometry, flow cytometry and microscopy, to generate large datasets that require computational expertise for analysis. In addition, some faculty are engaged in modeling or characterizing biological phenomena using datasets generated by others. Training provided through qCMB will prepare fellows to work on these projects.
