Bioinformatics

The main function of this platform is to provide support on bioinformatics to biomedical research groups in order to meet their bioinformatic analysis needs and the various technological needs that arise in research and clinical practice. This unit places special emphasis on ongoing, personalized support to the various groups and projects.

The platform's objectives are to provide support from the experimental design stage, including on the methodological design, to the obtaining and interpretation of results stage. This unit serves as an intermediary between clinical groups and more technological groups. It helps with performing all procedures and processes involved in data management, curation, and protection. The unit is continuously expanding, improving, and updating the services offered
