The Division of Computational Bioscience (DCB) of CIT is the research and development organization that provides scientific and technical expertise in applying state-of-the-art technologies to support the NIH Intramural Research Program (IRP). Working with NIH’s Institutes and Centers (ICs), we develop leading-edge computational methods and tools to solve complex biomedical laboratory and clinical research problems. Our experts collaborate with intramural staff in multiple areas including:
- Biomedical instrumentation and rapid prototyping
- Clinical and laboratory imaging and image management
- Communication and processing technologies
- Computational statistics
- Genomics and proteomics
- High-performance computing
- High-throughput sequence analysis
- Human- and animal-based research systems
- Knowledge based management systems
- Mathematical and biophysical modeling
- Medical and bioinformatics
- Molecular modeling
- Portfolio analysis
- Robotics and process automation
- Scientific visualization
- Signal transduction, data acquisition and processing
- Simulation of complex biological systems
- Molecular dynamics of biological macromolecules
- Molecular structure determination
- Systems biology
- Telecollaboration and telehealth systems
We also provide a supportive training or mentoring environment for scientists and engineers to develop their own expertise in collaborative biomedical research.
