CCMB: Center for Computational Medicine and Bioinformatics
Center for Computational Medicine and Bioinformatics (CCMB)
The U-M Center for Computational Medicine and Bioinformatics (CCMB), Brian D. Athey Ph.D. and Gilbert S. Omenn, M.D., Ph.D., Directors, is a campus-wide interdisciplinary academic center with over 100 affiliated faculty members.
Faculty membership is diverse, and there is a strong representation from the fields of Mathematics, Computer Science, and Statistics. This is complemented by faculty members who have biological and biomedical expertise who want to better apply cutting-edge biomedical informatics to their work.
CCMB is the U-M institutional leader in Biomedical Informatics, which encompasses the continuum of bioinformatics to clinical informatics to health informatics.
The CCMB has three major components:
Bioinformatics Graduate Program
The Bioinformatics Graduate Program (BGP) is the academic component of CCMB. The BGP is led by Dr. Margit Burmeister, Professor of Psychiatry & Human Genetics and Dr. Daniel M Burns, Jr., Professor of Mathematics. Multidisciplinary faculty support the robust curriculum and research opportunities for the students.Interdisciplinary Research Program
The Interdisciplinary Research Program (IDR) provides a coherent collaborative context for the success of existing interdisciplinary research programs and also assists new projects through a pilot grant program. Core interests are data integration and modeling from genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomic studies.
Collaborative Computing & Data Unit
The Collaborative Computing & Data Unit (CCDU) supports the CCMB Cores with a computational biology-focused research computing environment for collaboration tools, database design and administration, training and licensing of specialized software, and help with computing capabilities.
