Focus of research
The Bioinformatics Laboratory aims to develop novel strategies, methods, and expertise for the extraction of biomedical knowledge from complex data. This data generally comprises omics measurements (and complementary clinical data) but also medical images stemming from e.g., fMRI. Our research advances the organization, integration, analysis, and interpretation of biomedical data and, moreover, results in Grid infrastructures that provide significant computing power and approaches to manage data in distributed environments. These infrastructures are applied to address complex biomedical questions.
Most of the (research) projects are defined and carried out in tight collaboration with (AMC) laboratories and (pre)clinical research groups. The main research lines are Systems Genomics, e-Bioscience, and Semantic Biosystems. In addition, the lab participates in many collaborations focused on the analysis and interpretation of omics data. These collaborations include many DNA microarray projects and some proteomics projects. Moreover, the analysis of next generation sequence data constitutes an increasing part of our work. The lab also has large experience in the use and integration of public biological databases. e-Science is embraced for selected projects to facilitate projects that are carried out in distributed environments or which require large compute power. Most of the (research) activities provide a strong basis for systems biology.
The lab contributes to education and training programmes of Medical Informatics (AMC), the International class of Medical Informatics, AMC Graduate School for Medical Sciences, Biomedical Sciences (University of Amsterdam) and Computational Sciences (University of Amsterdam) and the NBIC PhD School.
