Meet UBC Principal Investigator Belen Rabaglino

How can bioinformatics contribute to veterinarian science? The development of high-throughput technologies during the last decades has allowed us to measure biological molecules on a big scale. The analysis of this vast amount of data implies the application of mathematical algorithms in numbers derived from biological events. Indeed, bioinformatics tools find patterns that can objectively […]

Meet UBC Principal Investigator Lucas Kaaij

Why do we need bioinformatics to understand the 3D genome? The research field of 3D genome organization has evolved rapidly over the last decade. This is largely driven by the implementation of massive parallel sequencing based techniques to the field. The reduction in sequencing costs per base has resulted in the possibility to map 3D […]

Meet UBC Executive Committee member Kevin Kenna

Why do we need bioinformatics to understand plant-microbe interactions? The CNS is extremely complex, it’s workings are one of the greatest mysteries in science. Unsurprisingly, we are therefore seeing that significant knowledge gains in our understanding of the CNS are increasingly being achieved through novel integrative analyses of large datasets. Some of the most impactful […]
