UC Berkeley and University of California, San Francisco have launched a joint initiative to develop the frontier of AI and biomedicine, and accelerate advances in clinical care. Called the Bakar Computational Biomedicine Initiative, this partnership will create new faculty positions, support postdoctoral researchers, and provide funding to build a new open-source computational platform, BioJupyter. “Our goal is to establish a world-leading hub in computational biomedicine by tightly connecting UC Berkeley and UCSF, and to create new opportunities for the best minds to collaborate in this field,” said Yun Song, Professor of Electrical Engineering & Computer Sciences and Statistics and Director of the Center for Computational Biology at UC Berkeley. Berkeley expects to launch a search for four new faculty members starting this fall, and will soon be recruiting postdocs, who will be jointly mentored by Berkeley and UCSF scientists.
