Our Focus

The Ghana Computational Biosciences Network (GCBN) is committed to advancing the frontiers of computational biosciences in Ghana by nurturing talent, fostering collaboration, and driving innovation.

Our immediate focus lies in strengthening two core domains (tracks) where our team has deep expertise:

Bioinformatics & Computational Biology

We aim to build capacity in cutting-edge genomic analysis, bioinformatics workflows, systems biology, and data-driven approaches to understanding biological mechanisms. Through targeted training and community-driven research initiatives, we empower learners and professionals to work confidently with high-throughput data and computational tools widely used in modern biology.

Computational Medicinal Chemistry (Drug Design & Discovery)

GCBN supports the development of skills in cheminformatics, molecular modeling, virtual screening, and computational drug design. Our programs help participants understand how computational methods accelerate drug discovery pipelines, enabling them to contribute meaningfully to biomedical research efforts in Ghana and beyond.
