Project Details

Description

The Interuniversity Institute of Bioinformatics in Brussels is a new interdisciplinary research initiative supported by ULB and VUB universities hosted in the BC building of the ULB La Plaine Campus.

The goal of the (IB)² is to bring together research groups of the VUB and ULB specialized in bioinformatics analysis of large scale omics data,into an interuniversity, cross-faculty (Medicine, Sciences, and Applied Sciences, of ULB and VUB) laboratory.

The missions of the (IB)² consist of the following:
Design and use of large-scale omics driven bioinformatics,biostatistics and computational biology to achieve a better understanding of the physio- and pathological mechanisms of living organisms.

Enable interdisciplinary and interuniversity research collaborations in bioinformatics by providing a physical location for research, meetings, collaborations, seminars as well as high-performance computer facilities, including the ULB-VUB computing center.

Allow Technology Transfer through training, education,innovation and collaborations.

The (IB)² has the ambition to evolve into a competitive structure of scientific
excellence, recognized at national and international level.
