The Center for Computational Biology (CCB) was established in 2003 through the Chancellor’s New Ideas Initiative, an outgrowth of the 2002 Strategic Academic Plan, to expand the research base at the University and produce the next generation of leaders in the fundamental and applied biological sciences. Our Mission Administratively housed in the Berkeley component of the California Institute for Quantitative Biosciences (QB3), the mission of CCB is to support interdisciplinary research on the broad array of subjects that cover the interface between computation and biology, and to foster graduate and undergraduate education in the field. The Center includes distinguished faculty and graduate students from more than a dozen academic departments and all disciplines underlying computational biology, specially recruited fellows, collaborators from other institutions, and leaders from industry, government and nonprofit organizations.
