Bioinformatics

The Bioinformatics group, led by Marnix Medema (ad interim), focuses on fundamental and applied bioinformatics research in the green life sciences. We develop and apply novel computational methods for the analysis and integration of –omics data. We teach bioinformatics and data analysis to students at the bachelor, master and PhD levels.

Education

Education by Bioinformatics

The Bioinformatics Group is involved in teaching several courses, at the BSc level in the minor Bioinformatics, and in the Bioinformatics MSc programme. In addition, we supervise BSc and Msc thesis projects within the research themes of our group, as well as internships at external partners.
