Our Mission

Bio-Computing is the discipline that integrates biomedical concepts and computer science techniques for collecting, managing, processing and analyzing large-scale biomedical data, as well as enables a deeper understanding of biological processes and medical procedures through modeling, simulation, and visualization. It emphasizes the algorithmic, computational, and software system issues arising from a wide range of biomedical problems. An important component of Bio-Computing is to develop new, improved, and customized Computer Science techniques and tools for problems in life science applications that cannot find ready-to-use solutions from existing technologies. The IUPUI Signature Center for Bio-Computing (CBC) aims to act as a catalyst to provide the necessary infrastructure and expertise in this emerging field. Our missions are:

1. Bio-Computing Infrastructure: To develop cutting-edge bio-computing techniques and tools to establish an infrastructure as a framework to support a wide range of biomedical applications.

2. Collaborative Projects: To actively engage in collaborative research projects, and maximize the impact of bio-computing in life science research and funding efforts.
