Computational Biology; Help Understand & Simulate Biological Structures & Processes of Life
Computational Biology Computational Biology is a field of science that uses computers, databases, statistics, and math to collect, store, organize, and analyze large amounts of biological, medical, and health info. Computational Biology and bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary field that develops & applies computational methods to analyses large amounts of biological, medical, and health info/data. The field focuses on the development and application of data-analytical/theoretical methods, computational simulation techniques, and mathematical modeling in life sciences. It is likely to become the part of routine health care in the future. Applications are not limited to research and drug discovery but are already being adapted for clinical use. Employed by pharmaceutical companies, private research institutes, nonprofits, universities, and governments, computational biologists can help doctors discover genetic causes of cancer one day and biochemists develop treatments for...
