April (Xinzhu) Wei
Assistant Professor
Students interested in computational biology will learn how to apply computer science, statistics, and mathematics to problems in biology. Computational biology spans a wide range of fields within biology, including genomics/genetics, biophysics, cell biology, biochemistry, and evolution.
