Departments, Institutes and Centres

It may be useful to use the cross-referenced lists for Research Areas, Research Organisms, and Departmental Affiliations on the Collaborative Graduate Program in Genome Biology and Bioinformatics website to identify specific people within the following Departments / Institutes / Centres. TorBUG (Toronto Bioinformatics Users Group) may also be of interest.

The following Departments and Institutes are formally involved in the Collaborative Graduate Program in Genome Biology and Bioinformatics:

• Department of Biochemistry
• Institute of Biomaterials and Biomedical Engineering
• Department of Cell and Systems Biology
• Department of Computer Science
• Department of Chemical Engineering and Applied Chemistry
• Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology
• Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathobiology
• Department of Medical Biophysics
• Institute of Medical Science
• Department of Molecular Genetics

The Department of Computer Science also has a Computational Biology Group and the Department of Molecular Genetics has a Computational Biology Track in its PhD program.

• Computational Biology Group, Department of Computer Science
• Computational Biology Track, Department of Molecular Genetics

These University of Toronto departments and affiliated institutes have some activities in bioinformatics, and genome-scale and computational biology.

• Mechanical and Industrial Engineering
• Department of Medicine
• Princess Margaret Cancer Centre
• Samuel Lunenfeld Research Institute
• Research Institute of the Hospital for Sick Children
• Toronto General Hospital

The following Centres cannot grant degrees but are good resources and are associated with many faculty who do bioinformatics, computational- and genome-scale-biology research.
