About CCBB

Core Description

The Center for Computational Biology and Bioinformatics (CCBB) is a state-of-the-art center equipped with the necessary computer hardware, software, and personnel for the support of computational biology and bioinformatics research at Howard University.

Mission

The mission of the Howard University Center for Computational Biology and Bioinformatics (CCBB) is to encourage and promote the application of computational approaches to the study of biomedical and disease processes. The application of those research approaches and methods that are at the interface of the biomedical and the physical sciences is of particular interest.
