I've been reading about the Biomedical Data Science PhD at Stanford and find the intersection of genomics and ML really compelling — especially labs working on cancer genomics and multi-omics.

Curious to hear from current students or alumni:

What kind of research problems are people actually working on day-to-day?

Is there a strong community for people coming from wet-lab/life science backgrounds who transitioned into computational work?

How do students typically find their rotation labs or advisors?

Not looking for admissions advice — just trying to understand whether the program culture and research style would be a good fit before going deeper into it.
