Computational Biology
We bring together scientists with skills in developing and applying computational, mathematical and biophysical techniques to questions in biological and medical research.
Members of the division either have their own “wet-lab” or collaborate closely with “wet-lab” experimentalists or clinicians to extract maximum value from experimental data that informs the development of predictive algorithms and models that may be tested experimentally. The Division shares a vision of Computational Biology as the focal point for the convergence of computing, mathematics and the physical sciences with experimental biology.
Since 14 July 2014, the Division has occupied a purpose-built floor in the new Centre for Translational and Interdisciplinary Research building which is physically linked to the rest of the School of Life Sciences research complex (MSI, WT and JBC buildings).
We are seeking to appoint Principal Investigators (PIs) at all levels of seniority, from scientists aiming to start their first independent group to senior, established researchers who wish to extend and enhance their research programmes.
Training Resources
We have created resources and opportunities to learn about and gain practical experience using tools and techniques developed in the School of Life Sciences.
