Department of Computational Medicine and Bioinformatics

The U-M Department of Computational Medicine and Bioinformatics (DCM&B) was launched in January 2012. Its purpose is to create novel informatics and computationally-based methods, tools, and algorithms to extend the capabilities and results of basic and clinical research. The department consists of the Bioinformatics Graduate Program, the Center for Computational Medicine and Bioinformatics (CCMB), the Bioinformatics Core, and the National Center for Integrative Biomedical Informatics (NCIBI). DCM&B is led by Dr. Brian Athey, the department chair.
