Welcome to CLS
Computational Life Sciences is currently one of the most important and exciting areas in all of science and technology, which is positioned at the intersection of modern biology, quantitative modeling and high performance computing. Computational Life Sciences is helping to provide a fundamental understanding of complex biological systems and offers the potential to significantly impact a wide variety of technologies, including drug discovery, novel therapies for human, animal and plant diseases, metabolic engineering and efficient production of traditional and high-value foodstuffs.
