Abstract
Since the Biomedical Foundation Bioinformatics group started in 2004, scientific activities, collaborations and staff have been continuously increasing. The Bioinformatics group develops its own scientific projects focused in translational Bioinformatics, joining so the biological observations to the clinical context. Hence, the main topics currently covered by our group are microarray data analysis, functional analysis and protein studies (structure, function and dynamics). Moreover, the Biomedical Foundation works with other scientific and academic institutions such as INB-CNIO, IIB and Vigo University. These enriching collaborations provide of training, new projects and resources to our group. For instance and, by means of an agreement with the INB, the Foundation has displaced a postdoctoral fellow at CNIO Bioinformatics Unit. In this paper, we report the current Bioinformatics activities carried out by the Biomedical Foundation Bioinformatics group.
