I am looking for schools which offer programs in this area. Here's my list. Perhaps Una could add this to the FAQ? Larry ----- begin file ~/Notes/compbio-training ----- I know of at least six graduate programs with explicit emphasis on computational biology: * University of Pittsburgh (in conjunction with Carnegie Mellon). A new program in computational biology, funded by the Keck Foundation. For information on that program, contact Bruce Buchanan (buchanan@cs.pitt.edu). * George Mason University. A new program in Computational Science and Informatics. [I am currently teaching the bioinformatics course there.] For more information, contact Harold Morowitz (hmorowitz@gmuvax.gmu.edu) or John Evans (jevans@gmuvax2.gmu.edu). * Washington State University, Pullman. A program in computational science including biology that has been going for at least three years. For more information, contact Keith Dunker (dunker@bobcat.csc.wsu.edu). * W.M. Keck Center for Computational Biology, in Houston, TX. A collaborative effort between Rice University, Baylor College of Medicine, and the University of Houston, has been offering graduate studies in computational biology since 1990. For more information, contact George Phillip, Jr. (georgep@rice.edu) * Washington University, St. Louis. They have just instituted a new Institute for Biological Computing, which will begin admitting students next fall. For more information contact David States (states@wucs1.wustl.edu). * Stanford Medical School. One of the nation's best medical informatics programs, recently hired Russ Altman to teach computational biology. For information, contact Ted Shortliffe (shortliffe@sumex-aim.stanford.edu) And there are many departments of computer science or biology which offer the possibility of pursuing studies in computational biology. This is certainly not an exhaustive list. My appologies to anyone I left out; I welcome updates and corrections! ----- end file ~/Notes/compbio-training ----- -- Lawrence Hunter, PhD.
