Ying Ma, the Edens Family Assistant Professor of Healthcare Communications and Technology and Assistant Professor of Biostatistics, will address genomic challenges using computational methods in her upcoming research supported by three recent grants from the NSF and NIH.

A team of researchers at the Center for Computational Molecular Biology (CCMB) published their recent findings in Science magazine: "The MUC19 gene: An evolutionary history of recurrent introgression and natural selection."

A new study found that a gene passed down from extinct archaic humans provided an adaptive advantage for Indigenous people of the Americas and is still common today in people of Indigenous descent.

Ritambhara Singh, an Associate Professor of Data Science and Computer Science and CCMB Faculty Member, was recently awarded a National Science Foundation (NSF) Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Grant.

Congratulations to graduating seniors Kanayo Duru and Lisa Duan!

CCMB PhD student Shevaughn Holness is one of 3 Brown students awarded funding from the National Science Foundation’s Graduate Research Fellowship Program to continue her work on population genetics.

Skylar Walters, an undergraduate concentrator at CCMB, has a bright future ahead of her in computational biology research.

CCMB is pleased to announce Emilia Huerta-Sanchez as CCMB Director, effective July 1, 2024.

Two computational biology senior concentrators, Madeleine Pittigher and Smriti Vaidyanathan, are receiving awards from the Dean of the College for outstanding graduating seniors in the Computational Biology concentration.

In March, CCMB postdocs and students attended and shared their research at the The Allied Genetics Conference in Washington DC.

Congratulations to CCMB’s Ritambhara Singh (Assistant Professor of Computer Science and Data Science), Jeff Bailey (Associate Professor of Translational Research in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine), and David Rand (Stephen T. Olney Professor of Natural History, Chair of Ecology, Evolution, and Organismal Biology)!

Daniel Weinreich, Director of the Center for Computational Molecular Biology, recently published a new textbook with MIT Press.

For twenty years, the Center for Computational Molecular Biology has been furthering computational, biological, and bioinformatical research.

The Center for Computational Molecular Biology welcomes Assistant Professor of Biostatistics, Ying Ma, to its core faculty.

CCMB Ph.D. student Julian Stamp, a member of the Crawford Lab, gave a talk at the Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology (ISMB) conference in Lyon, France, in July.
