The vocalizations of humans, bats, whales, seals and songbirds vastly differ from each other. But researchers in the Pfenning lab and at UC Berkeley have found parts of the genome that have evolved and are associated with vocal learning across mammals. https://lnkd.in/eTMNR87t

Über uns
The Ray and Stephanie Lane Computational Biology Department at Carnegie Mellon University is part of the internationally-recognized School of Computer Science, and it draws upon the energy and expertise in the entire School. It is an ideal place to be educated in this essential discipline. The approach to computational biology research that we take is unique in several ways, and we convey this approach to our educational programs at the high school, undergraduate, master's, and Ph.D. levels. First, we strongly believe that computational biology has important contributions to make in framing biological problems in computational terms and should not just be focused on helping biomedical researchers “understand their data.” Second, as befits our being in the School of Computer Science, we emphasize the importance of developing computationally rigorous solutions to problems, which goes hand-in-hand with framing those problems well. Third, we provide an important grounding in both natural and computational sciences. The role of computational biologists in framing problems requires knowledge of the fundamental principles of both. Fourth, we believe strongly in the need for computational biology to drive biological experimentation. Finally, a core value of Carnegie Mellon is its collaborative spirit. The Computational Biology Department fosters unique opportunities to students to be involved in such collaborations building on the great tradition of interdisciplinary work at CMU. Together, the embodiment of these principles helps our students develop as independent innovators who will help guide the future of biomedical research.

Carnegie Mellon University Trustee Ray Lane and his wife, Stephanie, have invested $25 million in support of the university’s boundary-breaking Computational Biology Department. The gift will establish an endowment to support the program’s strategic priorities and provide the funding for its future home in the new Richard King Mellon Hall of Sciences. Computational biology is an interdisciplinary field that utilizes algorithms, data and computer models to increase our understanding of life in all its forms as well as develop tools to diagnose and treat disease. At Carnegie Mellon, the department is home to faculty spanning traditional biological sciences, computer science, and statistics and data science. The Lanes are long-term supporters of CMU whose philanthropy played a key role in elevating computational biology to a department. Today, this department now ranks among the top three programs in the nation and is regarded as a global leader in the fields of bioinformatics, machine learning for biomedicine, interdisciplinary systems biology, automated science, genetic sequencing and more. In recognition of the couple’s significant role in shaping computational biology at Carnegie Mellon, the university will name the department the Ray and Stephanie Lane Computational Biology Department. This is the first named academic department at CMU. “Ray and Stephanie Lane have been passionate advocates for the power and possibilities of computational biology since the department’s formation,” said CMU President Farnam Jahanian. “With their support, our researchers are making life-changing discoveries and creating lifesaving treatments. I am deeply grateful for their investment in Carnegie Mellon University.”
