UC Berkeley/LBNL Genomics Community
Graduate Group Awards & Honors
UC Berkeley has assembled one of the most remarkable collection of computational and genomic biologists anywhere in the world. The Graduate Group in Computational and Genomic Biology will initially have 30 faculty members spanning diverse UC Berkeley departments (including Bioengineering, Biostatistics, Chemistry, Computer Science, Integrative Biology, Mathematics and Statistics). Faculty members have won domestic and international awards and have received the highest distinctions in their fields. We invite you to explore the links below to review individual faculty research and achievements.

Faculty hold numerous honorary doctorates and also sit on NIH and/or NSF peer-review panels, organize national and international meetings, have editorial responsibility for major scientific journals, and hold other leadership positions in the scientific community. Recruitment efforts for at least 7 faculty FTEs are underway. Faculty are elected for membership to the Graduate Group and we invite interested faculty to review the membership process in the DE Proposal.
