Netherlands X-omics Initiative
Proteomics Spinoza prize winner Prof. Albert Heck will lead the X-omics Initiative in its continued development of ground-breaking technologies for proteomics research. Proteomics is the large-scale study of all proteins and their biological function in different cells. “But it is just as important that we integrate all of the different ‘omics’ – proteomics, genomics, metabolomics […]
Core introduction block bioinformatics and hassle free teaching experience
Hassle free teaching experience We are streamlining our teaching infrastructure by setting up a server that can host our programming environments called CoCalc. In this way, we will be able to offer an environment which will be the same for each and every participant, without the need to setup their own software: a uniform and […]
Research project: classification in cryo-electron tomography
PhD candidate Ilja Gubins started working on a research project on the classification of bio-molecular complexes using cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET). Innovative computational methods are an integral part of the research approach. As Ilja says: “Machine learning has revolutionized every industry, starting from automation of manual labour to new unexpected discoveries. Applying it to structural biology […]
UBC expertise: Human Genetics
Dr. Edwin Cuppen was one of the first people in Europe to implement next-generation DNA sequencing. How does Edwin work to find the ultimate bioinformatic solution?
Bioinformatics research experience and expertise
In Utrecht, many bioinformaticians work in an experimental group, while a few others work in their own “dry lab”. In our communications as UBC, we emphasise what binds us together. On the operational level, this include activities such as education and infrastructure. On a more abstract level, what connects us is the joy and expertise […]
