Computational Biology

Scientific image

Computational biology is a blossoming field, whereby biologists harness the power of high-speed computation to model complex system or analyze large amounts of data. Many faculty members use computational approaches to solve problems, including those focused on the analysis of genome sequences, the modeling of ecological interactions, the dynamics of DNA: protein interactions, and the behavior of proteins at a molecular level.
