Research and Educational Needs in Computational Biology

• Research– Life sciences platform for data storage,

analysis and interfaces– Software and Support Staff– More Computational Biologist researchers

• Education– Bioinformatics Faculty and Courses– Online courses for larger introductory course– Integration with research experience
