Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (BCB)
Bioinformatics is a highly interdisciplinary research field at the nexus of mathematics, computer science, and the natural sciences. This inherent interdisciplinarity is fully reflected in the "Bioinformatics and Computational Biology" (BCB) research group, a subunit of the Faculty of Computer Science at University of Vienna, which brings together researchers from computer science, biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, and statistics to tackle complex biological questions.
The emergence of new experimental methods, such as high-throughput sequencing, constantly demands the development of innovative algorithms for efficient data analysis.
This bridging between the lab bench and computer science is a hallmark of the research group. Strong international collaborations not only foster our research but also underpin research-oriented teaching, which covers both classical and recently published bioinformatical methods and algorithms.
