 General Information
The Center for Computational Biology and Bioinformatics (CCBB) provides research support and opportunities for students, postdoctoral fellows, and faculty interested in the use of computational approaches in solving biological problems. We do not offer a degree program in Computational Biology, but computational biology tracks are available in several degree programs. Instead, doctoral students work with participating faculty, who are drawn from departments throught the University of Texas (see the directory of participating faculty). The research interests of the participating faculty touch upon a wide range of biological problems, and use various types of computational techniques. Some of the research areas that include several of the participating faculty include:
  • Protein and Nucleic acid structure and function.
  • Molecular evolution
  • Computational Phylogenetics
  • Proteomics
  • Drug Design
  • Regulatory and Developmental Pathway Inference.
Students interested in research opportunities in computational biology should contact the appropriate faculty members directly.

The CCBB also sponsors frequent seminars of interest to the computational biology community. Students, postdoctoral fellows, and faculty interested in being on an announcement mailing list should please send email to Laurie Alvarez (borders@cs.utexas.edu).
