While not formally organized as yet, Washington University in
St. Louis offers many opportunities for pursuing studies in
computational biology.  Major areas of study and relevant faculty 
include:

o Computational molecular biology and genome analysis
	David States
	Michael Zuker
	Warren Gish
	Sean Eddy
	Ron Cytron
	Will Gillett

o Molecular biophysics and the physical chemistry of macromolecules
	Garland Marshall
	Denise Beusen
	Jay Ponder
	Enrico Di Cera

o Computational neural sciences
	Charles Anderson
	David Van Essen

o Quantative bioimaging
	Michael Miller
	Don Snyder

	John Ollinger
	Jose Conchello
	Dan Fuhrman

o Population biology and biostatistics
	DC Rao
	John Rice
	J Phillip Miller

	Alan Templeton

This is really just a partial listing focusing on faculty whose
major work is computational.  In each of these areas there are many
additional faculty pursuing a mix of experimental and computational
approaches that might also be appropriate for a student with
computational biology interests.  For more information on the research
interests of specific faculty, see*:
