                   The Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center


SCOPE
The program provides course work and research experience designed to prepare
trainees to apply and extend state-of-the-art computational methods within
the rapidly emerging areas of biomedical research.

Computational Biology includes:
				studies of molecular structure
				molecular dynamics
				gene mapping
				drug design and molecular medicine
