Baker Center BCB Home Training Group Thematic Basis Fellowships NSF IGERT National Recruitment Program NSF IGERT Funding Research Areas: Bioinformatics Genome Evolution Genomics Macromolecular Structure & Function		Computational Molecular Biology (CMB) Training Group Graduate and Postdoctoral Fellowships in Computational Molecular Biology The Computational Molecular Biology (CMB) Training Group was established at Iowa State University through a grant from the National Science Foundation. This group is composed of investigators with diverse areas of expertise, including evolutionary, molecular and structural biology, computer science, mathematics and statistics. Due to the genome sequencing efforts and recent advances in molecular genetics, the next generation of biologists will be able to address questions from a systems-wide perspective. The goal of the CMB Training Group is to provide graduate and postdoctoral students with the necessary skills to explore biological questions at this level of complexity. Student training focuses largely on discerning biological information from genome sequence and expression data and includes four interrelated areas of research focus (see also Thematic Basis for the Training Group): Bioinformatics Genome Evolution Genomics Macromolecular Structure & Function By infusing training in the biological sciences with the analytic perspective of mathematics and computer science, we have created an exciting learning environment in which to prepare students for the challenges and opportunities presented by the post-genomics era.
