Page header: CBSE Mission
CBSE fosters interdisciplinary research and academic programs that address the scientific questions of the post-genomic era--the scientific opportunities arising from the completion of the Human Genome Project and the sequencing of other model organisms

The center serves as an umbrella organization at UCSC spanning the Baskin School of Engineering and the Division of Physical & Biological Sciences • Our location in the San Francisco Bay Area and proximity to Silicon Valley allows UCSC researchers to collaborate actively
with other world-class institutions (Stanford, UC Berkeley, UC San Francisco)
and with leading biotechnology and high tech companies.
