In addition to his research, Murphy has provided strategic leadership and vision in developing undergraduate and graduate training in computational biology. Funding by the Lane Chair will strengthen Carnegie Mellon's ability to educate students interested in computational biology.

"We are eager to support Bob's leadership in education, which we believe is critical for creating a pipeline of talented computational biologists to address biomedical research questions in profoundly new ways," the Lanes said.
