Computational Biology and Bioinformatics

Code: CBIO

Sponsored by Regeneron

Studies that primarily focus on the discipline and techniques of computer science and mathematics as they relate to biological systems. This includes the development and application of data-analytical and theoretical methods, mathematical modeling and computational simulation techniques to the study of biological, behavior, and social systems.

Computational Biomodeling聽(MOD):聽Studies that involve computer simulations of biological systems most commonly with a goal of understanding how cells or organism develop, work collectively and survive.

Computational Epidemiology (EPD):聽The study of disease frequency and distribution, and risk factors and socioeconomic determinants of health within populations. Such studies may include gathering information to confirm existence of disease outbreaks, developing case definitions and analyzing epidemic data, establishing disease surveillance, and implementing methods of disease prevention and control.

Computational Evolutionary Biology聽(EVO):聽A study that applies the discipline and techniques of computer science and mathematics to explore the processes of change in populations of organisms, especially taxonomy, paleontology, ethology, population genetics and ecology.

Computational Neuroscience聽(NEU):聽A study that applies the discipline and techniques of computer science and mathematics to understand brain function in terms of the information processing properties of the structures that make up the nervous system.

Computational Pharmacology聽(PHA):聽A study that applies the discipline and techniques of computer science and mathematics to predict and analyze the responses to drugs.

骋别苍辞尘颈肠蝉听(骋贰狈):聽The study of the function and structure of genomes using recombinant DNA, sequencing, and bioinformatics.

翱迟丑别谤听(翱罢贬):听Studies that cannot be assigned to one of the above subcategories. If the project involves multiple subcategories, the principal subcategory should be chosen instead of Other.
