NIH Working Group
The Bioinformatics and Computational Biology program has transitioned from Common Fund support. The Working Group member list reflects the membership at the end of this program. For more information, please visit the websites for the individual National Centers for Biomedical Computing posted on the Bioinformatics and Computational Biology program homepage.
Please note that since the Bioinformatics and Computational Biology program is no longer supported by the Common Fund, the program website is being maintained as an archive and will not be updated on a regular basis.
