Principal Investigators
The 30 investigators in the Center for Computational Biology are drawn from a dozen academic units under five colleges at UC Berkeley and represent all disciplines underlying computational biology: mathematics, statistics, molecular biology, chemistry, computer science and physics. All CCB faculty are members of the Computational and Genomic Biology Graduate Group, which administers the Designated Emphasis in Computational and Genomic Biology. Faculty members with an interest in computational biology are invited to participate; visit Join Us for more information.
