Apply to join the M.S. in Systems Medicine at Georgetown, or connect with us to learn more about the program. We host virtual information sessions and one-on-one meetings for prospective students.
Systems medicine is an emerging interdisciplinary biomedical field that bridges research and personalizes clinical care. In medicine, complex computational tools will become essential for deriving personalized assessments of disease risk and management including individualized diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment options. This change, involving the use and analysis of enormous quantities and variety of data, will require a new type of physician and a new type of biomedical scientist – one with a grasp of modern computational sciences, “-omic” technologies, and a systems approach to medicine.
The MS in Systems Medicine Program Director, Dr. Sona Vasudevan, will be giving a talk at the Second International Systems and Network Medicine Conference on the topic “Big Cancer Data in Cancer Systems Medicine”. The conference will be hosted virtually by Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School. The event will be hosted from April 12th-13th, 2021.
