  • SIB becomes a partner of QCMD for quality assessment programmes

    SIB is a new bioinformatics partner of the QCMD (Quality Control for Molecular Diagnostics) organization. The partnership aims to enhance bioinformatics solutions for international molecular external quality assessments.

  • Shinichi Sunagawa's group

    What we do We are interested in studying ecological and evolutionary factors that determine the structure, function and diversity of microbial communities – with a focus on the ocean ecosystem and the gastrointestinal tract of animals and humans....

  • Evgeny Zdobnov & Evgenia Kriventseva's group

    What we do The group is active in the fields of comparative genomics and shotgun metagenomics. We study molecular evolution, develop approaches to genomics data analyses, and implement computational pipelines. We apply evolutionary models to...

  • Christian Ahrens' group

    What we do We focus on the bioinformatic analysis and integration of state-of-the-art functional genomics data that we obtain through close collaboration with experimental biologists (genome sequences, gene and protein expression, metabolomics,...

  • Christian von Mering's group

    What we do In the Bioinformatics / Systems Biology Group, we study the dynamics of entire biological systems, both at evolutionary time-scales and at shorter time-scales – down to a few minutes. We often work in close collaboration with laboratory...

  • Gunnar Rätsch's group

    What we do We develop and apply modern machine learning techniques and sequence analysis methods in biology and medicine. In particular, we develop new learning approaches capable of dealing with vast amounts of genomic and medical data. We aim...

  • Carlos-Andrés Peña-Reyes' group

    What we do With the advent of high-throughput technologies and clinical information systems, the life sciences and clinical sciences now produce very large amounts of data (big data). Our goal at CI4CB is to uncover hidden patterns in these data,...

  • Laurent Falquet's group

    What we do In the Bioinformatics Unravelling Group of the University of Fribourg (BUGFri), we support life science researchers by providing expertise in data analysis of next-generation sequencing experiments, or any large-scale biological...

  • Rémy Bruggmann's group

    What we do In the Interfaculty Bioinformatics Unit of the University of Bern (IBU), we provide services and expertise to assist researchers of the three “Life-Science” Faculties and Insel hospital in data analysis and project planning for...

  • ‘Bioinformatics for all’ in May: many happy faces

    Over 650 people, including school classes, took part in our outreach activities around bioinformatics on the occasion of the University of Lausanne Open House (Mystères de l’UNIL) and the Night of the Museums in Geneva, on 18-21 May. The two events...
