# Precollege Program in Computational Biology

<https://www.cmu.edu/pre-college/academic-programs/computational-biology.html>

Biological and medical research have become fully fledged computational disciplines. Tomorrow's life scientists need deep knowledge of not only the laboratory techniques to generate experimental data but also the rigorous computational techniques necessary to analyze and model these data. The Precollege Computational Biology program offers an unparalleled experience for high school students to explore this relationship in a university setting.
