Center for Computational Molecular Biology

Congratulations to Dr. Max Leiserson, Ph.D. on successfully defending his thesis and becoming the first Ph.D. to complete the program in Computational Biology at the Center. We are proud to have you as our first awarded Doctorate and wish you all the best in your future endeavors. 

CCMB Ph.D. students Hsin-Ta Wu and Max Leiserson, working in Ben Raphael's group, use powerful algorithms to assemble the most complete genetic profile yet of acute myeloid leukemia, an aggressive form of blood cancer, in collaboration with researchers at Washington University in St., Louis and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA).
