Celebration of StatGen Alumni, 2000-2007

NEW AS OF JUNE 2007:

THIS WEB SITE IS (OR WILL BE) UNDERGOING REORGANIZATION FOR SEVERAL GOOD-NEWS REASONS:

• Following the Graduate School Review of the Statgen Certificate program, and the award of the new NIH-funded Statistical Genetics Training Grant (web link soon) we:
• Have formed a new Steering Committee (which has met, May 2007), replacing our former Certificate Advisory Committee.
• Will be expanding our faculty roster from the current list
• Will be reviewing the Certificate Curriculum
• Will be having a retreat in late-Nov/early-Dec 2007 to discuss many issues, but also have some great invited outside speakers
• Hope to receive administrative funding that will enable us to reorganize and grow the program,
• And much more!

If any faculty or students have any questions in the interim, please contact Elizabeth Thompson (Statistics), Bruce Weir or Ellen Wijsman (Biostatistics), or Joe Felsenstein or Phil Green (Genome Sciences). These are the current members of the new Steering Committee.
