The Computational Biology and Medical Informatics Professional Interest Community embraces activities at IBM Research worldwide. It includes the Computational Biology Center at the T. J. Watson Research Center, with strong affiliations with Almaden and other IBM Research Centers. Computational Biology (CompBio), including Bioinformatics, is the study of how computer systems can manage, analyze, and simulate the complex structures and processes inherent in living systems.
Naturally this emergence is of critical importance due to the huge volume of data flooding in from biology including the genome projects, proteomics, protein structure determination and the rapid expansion in digitalization of patient biomedical data. CompBio is inherently a multi-disciplinary field with important applications in medicine, agriculture, chemistry and ultimately nanotechnology. Medical Informatics includes knowledge discovery and mining of clinical data, and clinical genomic data, together with the integration and presentation of that information in useful ways applied to patients in a clinical settin
