Research
The Weill Medical College of Cornell University has founded a new institute for computational biology and
biomedicine. The aim is to bring together a critical mass of theorists and experimentalists to tackle the most
challenging questions in systems biology.
In the last decade there have been major technological advances in the field - the development of large scale
methods for recording cellular activity, high throughput tools for monitoring gene expression, rapid screens for
measuring behavioral performance, and powerful mathematic tools (statistical and dynamical systems-based) for
analyzing and interpreting complex datasets. These advances open the door to major scientific discoveries and
conceptual breakthroughs. The Institute's mission is to provide the resources and nurture the collaborative, multi-
disciplinary environment that will make such breakthroughs possible.
The following link will take you to the ICB faculty and their webpages.
The newly endowed ICB is pleased to announce an expansion in the area of computational neuroscience. See jobs for new junior fellow and tenure-track faculty postions.

March, 2012; Michelle Sahai, Ph.D., a Postdoctoral Associate in Harel Weinstein's lab, was awarded a three year Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) Fellowship for her research on Molecular Mechanisms of the Dopamine Transporter Function: The effects of drugs of abuse.
Feb, 2012; Sayan Mondal, a student in Harel Weinstein's lab, won the Student Research Achievement Award at the Biophysical Society's 2012 Annual Meeting for his poster on the interaction of GPCRs with the membrane.
Jan, 2012; Jan Dlabal, a student from the Lycée Français de New York, was selected as a semi-finalist in the 2012 Intel Science Talent Search, for work on the determination of large-scale genomic structure performed in the lab of Olivier Elemento.
Oct, 2011; Sheila Nirenberg presented a talk, "Can we speak the language of the brain?", at the TEDMED 2011 conference.
A Q & A session followed.
Nov, 2011; GobyWeb binary release. The Campagne laboratory has just released a binary distribution of GobyWeb. This first public release of GobyWeb makes it possible to install the tool locally for non-commercial use. Detailled installation instructions are available on the download page.
Apr, 2011; Dr. Olivier Elemento was awarded an NSF CAREER Grant, the National Science Foundation's most prestigious award in support of junior faculty who exemplify the role of teacher-scholars through outstanding research, excellent education and the integration of education and research.
Nov, 2010; Dr. Sheila Nirenberg's work on artificial retinas has been featured in Technology Review, Wired, Scientific American, and the New Scientist.
Jul, 2009; ChIPseeqer, a comprehensive framework for analysis of ChIP-seq data developed in the Elemento lab, is now available for download. [More]
