Masters of Science in Automated Science

The Computational Biology Department’s Masters of Science in Automated Science: Biological Experimentation (MSAS) program trains practitioners in the design, implementation, and application of automation in scientific research. Students train with world-class faculty, including those from the top-ranked School of Computer Science.  Graduates become leaders in the emerging paradigm of Automated Science – the combination of robotic scientific instruments, Machine Learning, and Artificial Intelligence for iteratively building predictive models from experimental data and selecting new experiments to improve them. Interested students are also given opportunities to pursue research with Carnegie Mellon Faculty.  Our graduates are prepared for rewarding jobs in industry or to pursue their doctoral degrees at top universities.
