Teaching & Curricular Development

Bioinformatics/QuBi Advising

  • QuBi advisors: Weigang Qiu, Ntino Krampis, Rabindra Mandal (Biology); Saad Mneimeih, Lei Xie (CS); Akira Kawamura (Chem); Dana Sylvan (Math & Stats)
    • Permission for non-Biology majors to take BIOL203 & BIOL425, every Spring
    • Collect names, major, and IDs to send to course coordinator to grant permission. Waive BIOL10200 pre-reqs for taking BIOL203.
  • Curricular resources:
  • QuBi advising:
    • Declaration of Bioinformatics concentration: In-person advising to work out the semester-by-semester courses
    • Approve on department spreadsheet (or send email to "Samantha Sheppard-Lahiji" and "HTR Bio" <biology@hunter.cuny.edu>)
    • Students should take Bioinformatics-specific electives (8 cred; see Hunter Catalog below), not general electives
      • Examples: Anthrop302 (3 cr); Chem333 (3 cr); BIOL47119 & BIOL47120 (3cr); BIOL48002 (2 cr)
    • Students need to take BIOL48002 (2 cr), which counts towards as research credit, to graduate as honors
  • General advising:
    • ~40 students every semester. Send out emails to students. Go through student courses by Email or by appointment
    • Recommend new math courses: MATH15200 & STAT21350
  • Hosting QuBi students in lab
    • This is to enhance the informatics and coding skills of our students
    • Students should register and get BIOL48002 credits, which counts towards their elective credits & eligibility for honors
    • 3-5 students per semester
  • Outside research opportunities
    • MIT Quantitative Workshop (first week of January, in Boston). Coordination with CS (Saad & Susan Epstein) in Fall
    • Simons Foundation/Flatiron Institute Center for Computational Biology (CCB) Internship program. Open House in Spring
