Informatics and Computational Biology

• Department for Biomedical Informatics (CBMI) serves as a coordinating point to support informatics activities in research, education, and health care at the Schools of the Health Sciences.
• GPCL Bioinformatics Analysis Core analyzes high-dimensional data from studies that use microarrays, SNP arrays, mass-spectrometry-based proteomics, and other high-dimensional data sources, including mined biomedical (clinical and demographic) variables.
• Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center is a collaborative effort of Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh together with the Westinghouse Electric Company, that provides cutting-edge computational resources to the research community.
• Cancer Informatics at UPCI is composed of several tightly integrated services.
• UPMC Center of Pathology Informatics is responsible for managing and improving UPMC laboratory information services and systems in anatomic pathology, clinical pathology, and the pathology imaging system.
• Department of Computational Biology designs new computational/mathematical models and methods for simulating complex biological processes and for extracting useful information from accumulating data.
