Bioinformatics is the application of computer technology to the management of biological information. Computers are used to gather, store, analyze and integrate biological and genetic information which can then be applied to gene-based drug discovery and development. The need for Bioinformatics capabilities has been precipitated by the explosion of publicly available genomic information resulting from the Human Genome Project. The goal of this project determination of the sequence of the entire human genome (approximately three billion base pairs) will be reached by the year 2002. The science of Bioinformatics, which is the melding of molecular biology with computer science, is essential to the use of genomic information in understanding human diseases and in the identification of new molecular targets for drug discovery. In recognition of this, many universities, government institutions and pharmaceutical firms have formed bioinformatics groups, consisting of computational biologists and bioinformatics computer scientists. Such groups will be key to unraveling the mass of information generated by large scale sequencing efforts underway in laboratories around the world.

Department of Computational Medicine and Bioinformatics The U-M Department of Computational Medicine and Bioinformatics (DCM&B) was launched in January 2012. Its purpose is to create novel informatics and computationally-based methods, tools, and algorithms to extend the capabilities and results of basic and clinical research. The department consists of the Bioinformatics Graduate Program, the Center for Computational Medicine and Bioinformatics (CCMB), the Bioinformatics Core, and the National Center for Integrative Biomedical Informatics (NCIBI). DCM&B is led by Dr. Brian Athey, the department chair. - View Core Faculty The Bioinformatics Graduate Program was established as an interdepartmental program in 1998 at the University of Michigan, and enrolled its first class in 2001. The Bioinformatics Graduate Program is led by co-directors Dr. Margit Burmeister, Professor of Psychiatry and Human Genetics and Dr. Daniel M. Burns Jr., Professor of Mathematics. The program maintains a graduate student body of approximately 45 Ph.D. and Master's students combined. The U-M Center for Computational Medicine and Bioinformatics (CCMB) is a campus-wide interdisciplinary academic center with over 100 affiliated faculty members. The faculty membership of CCMB has a strong representation from diverse fields such as mathematics, computer science, and statistics, and is complemented by faculty with biological and biomedical … Continue reading →
