Herbold Computational Biology Program

The Herbold Computational Biology Program was established in 2007 with the support of Bob and Pat Herbold. We merge traditional biological sciences with advanced training in physics, statistics, mathematics and computer science. By using computational methods and tools to address biological questions, we explore what was once purely experimental or purely computational/statistical, allowing our program to address new areas of research.

We are a collection of labs who use computational methods to learn about biology.

Computational biology values

We want computational biology to be a welcoming and inclusive place for people of all backgrounds, 

• advancing biology via rigorous and reproducible research
• forming a nexus of labs leading to collaborative science
• placing an emphasis on mentorship of the next generation of researchers
• fostering a diverse community of computational biologists
