Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh have joined forces to establish an exciting interdisciplinary program leading to a Ph.D. in Computational Biology. The goal of this Ph.D. program is to provide intensive interdisciplinary education to enable outstanding students to become leaders in identifying and solving tomorrow's biological problems using computational methods.

The Program was selected as one of only ten HHMI-NIBIB Interfaces Initiative Awardees in the country in November 2005!


The Program was very well represented at the ISMB/ECCB 2007 meeting which was held July 21-25 in Vienna, Austria. Five of the 66 papers chosen for presentations are from the groups of our training faculty (Bahar, Bar-Joseph, Benos, Murphy and Xing)! Only 15% of submitted papers were accepted.

Join us in this exciting new program and help build the future of interdisciplinary biomedical research!
