It is essential to the mutual goals of research, education, and commerce that CU partner with companies having an interest in computational life sciences. The information exchange between academic researchers and educators on the one hand and industry researchers and product developers on the other is invaluable in a field that is changing so rapidly. Here are some of the ways that a sponsor can benefit from CCB sponsorship:

Access to CBA associates and computational biology students. This happens not only through participation in CCB events, but also from the Administration's concerted effort to match your needs and interests with CCB skills and projects. Our efforts are proactive and can be obtained only by becoming a part of CCB.

Insights gleaned from regular interaction and contact with an active research community. At the CCB annual meeting important and current advances in computational biology are summarized and discussed. CCB can also arrange special workshops to address specific company interests. Our associates are among the leading researchers in the world, and our students are not only destined to lead the future of this revolution, but also they are eager to learn and contribute now.

Influence can be gained through interacting with CCB associates and showing them the advantages of new research efforts directed towards bringing a novel product to market, such as the discovery of a new drug.

Competitive advantage for a sponsor can stem from the availability of expertise from the CCB and its associates. CCB welcomes and facilitates discussion and cooperative projects between sponsor companies and CCB associates and their students.

You are welcome to contact our current sponsors to hear how they benefit directly and indirectly from their membership. To become a CCB sponsor or for more information about the advantages of sponsorship contact the Director or any of the Associate Directors.
