MS, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Pune University, '15
PSM, Bioinformatics, Temple University, '18
"I came to the U.S. for my master’s in bioinformatics at Temple from 2016 to 2018. During my studies, I also had the opportunity to do a co-op at Johnson & Johnson, thanks to the support of the program coordinator and faculty.
Since graduating, I've been working with Foundation Medicine, Boston where I’ve held various roles across lab operations, product development, and R&D. I truly loved the program, and I believe it was instrumental in helping me secure a great job and establish my career here in the U.S."
Adam Karami
BS, Biotechnology, Rutgers University, '15
PSM, Bioinformatics, Temple University, '20
"The PSM program has been absolutely pivotal to my career. The instructors and course materials immediately introduced me to relevant concepts in contemporary bioinformatics and ultimately taught me how to learn and ask the right questions in this fast-paced field. By the end of the first year, I was able to land a job in bioinformatics that let me continuously implement the concepts I learned throughout the program.”
STEERING COMMITTEE
The steering committee members serve not only to guide the program’s curriculum and students but also serve as program educators and research mentors to the program’s students.
ADVISORY BOARD
As a PSM, the Temple Bioinformatics and biological data science program relies greatly on its board of outside experts drawn from industry and research centers in the Philadelphia area. These board members advise on curriculum issues and internship/research opportunities.
