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.
