PhD in Biological and Artificial Intelligence (BioAI)

The PhD in Biological and Artificial Intelligence (BioAI) program at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) is a specialized, fast-track doctoral program designed for students at the intersection of AI and biology. This program focuses on quantitative and computational research, requiring students to have a master's degree or equivalent in a field such as computer science, physics, mathematics, or engineering. Unlike traditional PhD programs, BioAI students are directly admitted into a specific research lab, bypassing the typical rotation period. The program emphasizes "dry lab" research, meaning all work is computational or data-driven, not involving wet lab experiments. Students will contribute to shaping the future of research and industry by becoming innovators in areas where AI meets neuroscience, genomics, and other biological sciences.
