Bioinformatics
Research in Bioinformatics spans genome and pangenome analysis, metagenomics, multi-omics, bioimage analysis, algorithmic cheminformatics and systems chemistry. The area develops computational, mathematical, and data-driven methods, ranging from scalable data analysis and artificial intelligence, including machine learning, to formal models of molecular transformations, metabolic networks, and microbial communities. These approaches help to understand and design biological and biochemical systems and support applications in biotechnology, medicine, agriculture, environmental research and sustainable bioproduction.
