We are the Bioinformatics Unit at the Core Facility at the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences. At present, we are located at the Hus 462, Floor 10.

We offer several Bioinformatics analyses from Microarray to Next-Generation Sequencing to High-throughput Image Analysis, primarily with open-source software, like R, Python, etc. We also have licensed software for Whole Genome Sequencing analyses, such as Sentieon. We develop pipelines for data analysis, from RAW data to the functional genomics.

We can assist you in three ways

  • Support/consultancy: to advise on bioinformatics procedures, methods and resources.
  • Technical assistance: help with tools, database, making figures or other small bioinformatics tasks.
  • Research collaboration: requests that require an effort beyond technical assistance/consultancy will be set up as research collaboration.

Bioinformatics Unit’s mission at the Core Facility is to offer researchers support with bioinformatics analysis at any level. We firmly believe that the interface between bioinformatics and biology is the key-step towards success in our collaboration. For this reason, we are open to receive your projects for data analysis or development of computational pipelines of the project or maybe a small talk that you need for some statistical calculations.

Let us try to help with your projects and analysis.
