The Center for Computational Biology develops new and innovative methods of examining data in the biological sciences whose scale and complexity have historically resisted analysis.
Featured News

This powerful, dynamic software system is changing how scientists sift through the recent deluge of human genomic data — and deepening our knowledge of human biology, health and disease.
CCB’s mission is to develop modeling tools and theory for understanding biological processes and to create computational frameworks that will enable the analysis of the large, complex data sets being generated by new experimental technologies.
