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. 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:
-
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).
