The Biomedical Data Science and Informatics (BDSI) Ph.D. program is a joint Ph.D. program offered by Clemson University and the Medical University of South Carolina. The program brings together Clemson's strengths in computing, engineering, and public health and MUSC's expertise in biomedical sciences. Graduates will be prepared to manage and analyze large-scale data from a variety of sources, such as electronic health records, biomedical texts, bio-sensor and imaging data, and omics data, and will possess the necessary skills for informatics careers in biology, medicine and public health, and research in prescriptive analytics.

This interdisciplinary program is designed for full-time students with undergraduate or graduate computer science, math, engineering, or biomedical sciences backgrounds who wish to make a contribution to biomedical sciences and individual and societal health.

Specialized tracks include precision medicine, population health, and clinical and translational informatics. For more details on our M.S. program, please view our M.S. in BDSI.

The BDSI Ph.D. program, in partnership with South Carolina State University, has just received a SC BIDS4HEALTH training grant funded by the National Institutes of Health. Interested candidates, please complete the interest form.

Building on the curricular ecosystem of the joint Ph.D. program, this program will support a cohort of graduate students interested in the application of data science techniques to address health inequities.
