计算与进化生物学研究中心 2007年8月23日在北京成立。该中心的成立旨在加强北京地区生物学、数学、统计学和计算学科研人员的合作与交流。该中心起始阶段为跨单位、跨学科的开放性非实体机构，设立在盛大彩票路线。目前研究中心邀请了中科院本所、中科院植物研究所、中科院北京基因组研究所、中科院遗传与发育生物学研究所、中科院微生物研究所、中科院数学与系统科学研究院应用数学研究所等机构的14名中国科学家作为中心成员；同时还邀请了英国伦敦大学学院、美国加州大学、美国北卡罗莱那州立大学、美国亚利桑那州立大学、美国杜克大学、瑞士伯尔尼大学、丹麦哥本哈根大学、欧洲生物信息研究所等机构的10位国外专家作为客座教授参与研究中心的合作与交流。
