Proteins at work – the fascinating world of proteomics

The lab of Prof. dr. Albert Heck at Utrecht University and the Netherland Proteomics Centre together made a video about proteomics research.

The video was financially supported by the Utrecht Institute for Pharmaceutical Sciences (UIPS) of Utrecht University.

Keith Baggerly keynote speaker at UBC symposium 2016

Prof. Baggerly’s research interests involve the analysis of high-throughput biological data, and focus on the themes of experimental design and reproducible research. He is best known as a practitioner of “forensic bioinformatics”, where raw data and reported results are used to reconstruct which methods must have been used. He was the leading investigator who exposed the […]

Philip Lijnzaad obtains Software and Data Carpentry Instructor Certification

Philip Lijnzaad is among the first of a small group of certified Elixir Software and Data Carpentry instructors that completed the training in Lausanne. We are really excited with these results and hope that this will further stimulate our efforts in educating the next-generation of life scientists dealing with Big Data. As part of our […]

Bioinformatics Profile for Life Scientists

Education

The analysis of large data sets is now unthinkable without the use of bioinformatics. The goal of the bioinformatics profile is to enable life scientists to better interpret and analyse their data by using appropriate bioinformatics methods. The main and most important part of the profile for Master’s students is a bioinformatics internship, as bioinformatics […]

UBC expertise: Computational Structural Biology

‘“All three words in the term Computational Structural Biology seem to point to other research areas. In brief, I use computers to study molecules. We look at the structure of proteins, focusing mainly on the interaction between them. Protein sequences contain information that help us to predict these interactions. If we know that two proteins […]
