Computational biology enables and often drives biomedical research. The contribution of computational researchers may involve “routine” data analysis for supporting fundamental research, techniques for generating and testing complex biological hypotheses, and approaches to diagnosing diseases or guiding their treatment.

The journal Cell Systems recently asked 15 top researchers: “What Is the Key Best Practice for Collaborating with a Computational Biologist?” Answers to this question are crucial because biomedical research significantly relies on inter-disciplinary cooperation.
