Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh have joined forces to establish an exciting interdisciplinary program leading to a Ph.D. in Computational Biology. The goal of this Ph.D. program is to provide intensive interdisciplinary education to enable outstanding students to become leaders in identifying and solving tomorrow's biological problems using computational methods.

The Program was selected as one of only ten HHMI-NIBIB Interfaces Initiative Awardees in the country in November 2005!


For the second year, our Program was very well represented at the ISMB meeting, which was held this year in Toronto. Our program students and faculty gave 2 proceedings talks, 4 highlights talk, 1 special session talk, 1 technology track presentation, and 13 poster presentations, as well as 1 plenary talk, 1 regular talk and 1 poster at the 3DSig Satellite meeting!

Join us in this exciting program and help build the future of interdisciplinary biomedical research!

Applications are being accepted now for enrollment in Fall 2009. The application deadline for early consideration is December 15, 2007. The final deadline is January 15, 2008.
