About the BioFrontiers Institute

The BioFrontiers Institute at the University of Colorado (CU) is an interdisciplinary hub for bioscience research and education with a focus on improving human health. Scientists at BioFrontiers are deeply committed to unraveling the complexities of biology through integrating many disciplines, including biology, biochemistry, computer science, chemistry, physics and engineering. Our goal is to work collectively to uncover new knowledge at the frontiers of bioscience in order to unlock the origins of disease, guide more accurate diagnosis, and develop targeted treatments, all in an effort to prevent and eradicate some of society’s most difficult health problems.
