Ray and Stephanie Lane Center for Computational Biology

The Lane Center for Computational Biology at Carnegie Mellon University seeks to realize the potential of machine learning for expanding our understanding of complex biological systems. A primary goal of the center is to develop computational tools that will enable automated creation of detailed, predictive models of biological processes, including automated experiment design and data acquisition. We anticipate that these efforts will not only lead to deep biological knowledge but also to tools for individualized diagnosis and treatment of cancer and other diseases. The Lane Center builds on the strong history of computational and interdisciplinary research at Carnegie Mellon.

Lane Fellows in Computational Biology

These highly-paid postdoctoral fellowships will enable outstanding recent doctoral recipients to carry out computational biology research in the environment at Carnegie Mellon. Candidates for the Lane Fellowships must be nominated by a faculty member from their Ph.D.-granting institution. The list of current Fellows can be found here. Nominations for 2010 Fellows must be received by October 1, 2009.

Computational Biology Ph.D. Program

The Lane Center is the administrative home on the Carnegie Mellon side for the Joint Carnegie Mellon University-University of Pittsburgh Ph.D. Program in Computational Biology. The application web site will open September 1, 2009.
