The Computational Biology Department (CBD) is a division within the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States. It is located in the Gates-Hillman Center.

Established in 2007 by Robert F. Murphy as the Lane Center for Computational Biology with funding from Raymond J. Lane and Stephanie Lane[1], CBD became a department within the School of Computer Science in 2009[2].

CBD faculty and students conduct research in genomics[3][4], systems biology[5], and biological imaging[6][7]. Its faculty have served as president of the National Science Foundation[8], president of the International Society of Advanced Cytometry[9], and as a member of the National Institutes of Health Council of Councils[10]; they have won the Overton Prize[11], the Okawa Award[12], a United States Air Force Young Investigator Award,[13] and a Presidential Young Investigator Award[14].

As part of the HHMI-NIBIB Interfaces Initiative[15], CBD received funding from Howard Hughes Medical Institute[16] and the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB)[17] to develop an interdisciplinary Ph.D. program in computational biology with the University of Pittsburgh, which was founded as the Joint CMU-Pitt Ph.D. Program in Computational Biology in 2005[18]. This program is currently receiving training support through a National Institutes of Health T32 Training Grant[19].
