Summary

The Center for Computational Biology (CCB) is an NCBC established to develop, implement and test computational biology methods that are applicable across spatial scales and biological systems. The Center’s objective is to help elucidate characteristics and relationships that would otherwise be impossible to detect and measure. The CCB employs an integrative approach, both in terms of the biology and the participating disciplines. The Center focuses on the brain, specifically on neuroimaging, and involves research in mathematics, computational methods and informatics. It also is involved in the development of a new form of software infrastructure – the computational atlas – to manage multidimensional data spanning many scales and modalities. This is specifically applied to the study of brain structure and function in health and disease, but has much broader applicability to both biomedical computing and computational biology.
