The Computational Biology Department (CBD) is a division within the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States. It is located in the Gates-Hillman Center.
Established in 2007 by Robert F. Murphy as the Lane Center for Computational Biology with funding from Raymond J. Lane and Stephanie Lane, CBD became a department within the School of Computer Science in 2009.
CBD faculty and students conduct research in genomics,systems biology, and biological imaging. Its faculty have served as president of the National Science Foundation, president of the International Society of Advanced Cytometry, and as a member of the National Institutes of Health Council of Councils; they have won the Overton Prize, the Okawa Award, a United States Air Force Young Investigator Award, and a Presidential Young Investigator Award.
As part of the HHMI-NIBIB Interfaces Initiative, CBD received funding from Howard Hughes Medical Institute and the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) to develop an interdisciplinary Ph.D. program in computational biology with the University of Pittsburgh, which was founded as the Joint CMU-Pitt Ph.D. Program in Computational Biology in 2005. This program is currently receiving training support through a National Institutes of Health T32 Training Grant.
