Transformative Computational Biology, a Giving Smarter Guide

In 2023, Biswas Family Foundation partnered with the Milken Institute Science Philanthropy Accelerator for Research and Collaboration (SPARC). Together, they conducted a comprehensive review of the computational biology field and identified areas for philanthropy to advance the integration of computational tools in biomedical research and clinical care.

Using the findings and insights from this analysis, published in Transformative Computational Biology, a Giving Smarter Guide, Biswas Family Foundation developed the Transformative Computational Biology Grant Program. This program is focused on accelerating the use of computational approaches in translational research and clinical settings to improve the health and well-being of the global community.
