Bioinformatics expertise center
The Bioinformatics Center of Expertise offers bioinformatics advice to all LUMC reseachers who work in genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and other fields that rely heavily on bioinformatics tools. This advice is a form of interdisciplinary scientific cooperation. A list of consultants can be found here.
Our research and groups
Methodological Research
The Bioinformatics Center of Expertise also performs methodological research to develop new bioinformatics methods and to improve the performance and understanding of existing ones. This research is closely linked with the bioinformatical consulting, as problems arising from consulting give direction to the methodological research, which in turn helps improve the consulting activity. The research is conducted by the following groups related to the Center of Expertise.
Tools we developed
Bioinformatics is a rapidly developing field at the intersection of statistics, computer science, biology and medicine. It focuses on methods for analyzing, connecting and visualizing the large data sets arising from modern high-throughput molecular biology and modern imaging techniques.
The Bioinformatics Center of Expertise unites all bioinformaticians at LUMC. It makes knowledge and advice in the field of bioinformatics available to all LUMC researchers. In addition, the Center promotes cooperation and knowledge transfer between bioinformaticians, for example by organizing seminars. The Center of Expertise also provides courses for researchers and students.
