The Institute is led by Director Pierre Baldi, Donald Bren School of Information and Computer Science, and Associate Director G. Wesley Hatfield of the School of Medicine. Drs. Baldi and Hatfield are co-directors of the IGB-led Biomedical Informatics Training (BIT) Program.

The Director and Associate Director are supported by seven core Program Area Leaders, representing the breadth of IGB inquiry. These research areas are Evolutionary, Functional, Human and Structural Genomics, Biomedical Engineering, and Chemical and Systems Biology. Together this group of nine serves as the IGB Executive Board.

IGB faculty and students come from five different disciplines on campus: School of Medicine, Donald Bren School of Information and Computer Science, School of Biological Sciences, School of Physical Sciences, and the Henry Samueli School of Engineering. IGB frequently has post-doctoral or faculty visitors.

The Institute is advised by a group of highly placed life and computing sciences industry executives, venture capitalists, and scientists. The IGB Advisory Board meets periodically with the Executive Board for information exchanges, to foster technology transfer, and/or for planning and direction.

Five core staff members support the Institute’s activities. Inquiries about the Institute and its activities should be directed to the IGB Office.
