The Computational Biology Department (CBD) is a division within the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States. It is located in the Gates-Hillman Center.

Established in 2007 by Robert F. Murphy as the Lane Center for Computational Biology with funding from Raymond J. Lane and Stephanie Lane,[1] CBD became a department within the School of Computer Science in 2009.[2]

CBD faculty and students conduct research in genomics,[3][4] systems biology,[5] and biological imaging.[6][7] Its faculty have served as president of the National Science Foundation,[8] president of the International Society of Advanced Cytometry,[9] and as a member of the National Institutes of Health Council of Councils;[10] they have won the Overton Prize,[11] the Okawa Award,[12] a United States Air Force Young Investigator Award,[13] and a Presidential Young Investigator Award.[14]

As part of the HHMI-NIBIB Interfaces Initiative,[15] CBD received funding from Howard Hughes Medical Institute[16] and the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB)[17] to develop an interdisciplinary Ph.D. program in computational biology with the University of Pittsburgh, which was founded as the Joint CMU-Pitt Ph.D. Program in Computational Biology in 2005.[18] This program is currently receiving training support through a National Institutes of Health T32 Training Grant.[19]
