Center for Computational Biomedicine at University of Pennsylvania

The Center for Computational Biomedicine (CCB) s a partnership between the Penn Genetics and Institute of Biomedical Informatics.  Its associated faculty span several departments, and a broad range of computational, statistical, genomics and biomedical research areas – yet, the hallmark of CCB faculty and their laboratories is the commitment to quantitative reasoning and the development of statistical and computational methods often using latest genomic technologies.

CCB mission is to support quantitative and computational biosciences research, training and education. CCB foster research into the development of computational, statistical and mechanistic models as well as intra-institutional and international collaborations. CCB aims to leverage Penn institutional resources, such as Penn Medicine Biobank (PMBB), towards providing a bridge from basic towards translational research at Penn. CCB organizes internal and external research meetings, provides training and experti collaborative support via the postdoctoral fellowship program, and aims to be home for quantitative and statistical reasoning at interface of basic and translational genomic sciences.
