By design, the Computational Biology and Medicine Program is not focused on one area of computational biology. In fact, its faculty have a wide range of research interestsfor example, Biophysics and Structural Biology, Genomics and Bioinformatics, Modeling and Systems Biology, Neuroscience and Cancer Biology. More details on each of these areas can be found on the Areas of Concentration page. Such diversity offers students in the program an excellent array of thesis laboratory opportunities.
Our faculty work in a range of academic departments and computational research institutes, including the Institute for Computational Biomedicine at Weill Cornell and the Computational Biology Center at Sloan Kettering.
