Head of Section: Anders Gorm Pedersen
In the Section for Bioinformatics we combine knowledge of biology with informatics to study questions that are often relevant to human health but equally often of a fundamental nature. The six groups of the Section cover a wide variety of subjects ranging from personalized medicine where we, amongst others, predict the optimal treatment based on an individuals genome to machine learning applied to receptor-ligand interactions in biological systems. This is done in close collaboration with research, industrial and medical partners with a focus on keeping our research as relevant as possible.
As bioinformatics has become an essential competence to perform almost all biomedical amd biotechnological research we teach a range of interdisiplinary courses at all levels and are also responsible for the Master program Bioinformatics and Systems Biology
