Computational Biology, Ecology, & Evolution
ComBEE is a group of researchers at UW-Madison interested in computational biology. Community events, hosted by ComBEE, provide a space for researchers to discuss the computational aspects of their research and support colleagues in learning new skills and tools. Join the ComBEE community to meet other researchers working with computational biology at UW-Madison.

Interested in Joining the ComBEE Leadership Team?
ComBEE welcomes members to join the leadership team! The leadership team helps grow and sustain a lively and engaged community of practice, and ensures ComBEE researchers across campus have ample opportunities to discuss challenges, learn from one another, and support each other. Anyone passionate about computational biology, ecology, or evolution and community is welcome to join—including students, no minimum experience required!
The leadership team meets 1-2 times a semester to: brainstorm and plan events and resources to serve the needs of the ComBEE community, select themes and recruit speakers for events, strategize ways to create a lively community and increase engagement, collaborate with other ComBEE-related groups on campus.
To join the leadership team, please email sarah.stevens@wisc.edu. with a brief summary of your interest in computational biology, ecology, or evolution research.
