Bioinformatics
Bioinformatics combines computer science, statistics, mathematics, and engineering to analyze and interpret biological data. We support comprehensive bioinformatics infrastructure that can extract actionable knowledge from large data sets.
Bioinformatics is an integral part of understanding precision medicine and omics and underpins other BIO5 research such as imaging, wearable technology, and ecosystem genomics. We have several centers and partnerships that enable these big data approaches to reveal important patterns and connection points that are not possible at an experimental scale.
- We manage CyVerse, a massive one-of-a-kind cyberinfrastructure that teams of researchers can use to address questions that were previously unapproachable because the computational requirements were too large or complex.
- The University of Arizona Center for Biomedical Informatics and Biostatistics advances clinical research missions with informatics, tools, clinical data sources, and shared human and technical resources.
- Our partnership with Banner Health makes enormous amounts of health data available to researchers to analyze and drive subsequent experiments and drug discovery.
