The Bioinformatics Core Facility aims to provide researchers at CRG, PRBB, and other external institutions with services of consultation, data analysis and management, software development, and access to computing resources. As further important commitment, the core will periodically organize courses and workshops in order to train biologists on the implementation of the main bioinformatics tools in their research.

Starting in September 2009, the Bioinformatics Unit currently comprises two first members. In its initial stage, it has initiated communication with other core facilities and research groups in order to explore current bioinformatics and data analysis needs. Meanwhile, the team has provided ad-hoc collaborative support to existing projects, as well as started the implementation of a computational infrastructure that will be further deployed next year in close collaboration with the Bioinformatics and Genomics Programme and the IT department. As further development, additional staff members have been recently recruited and will join the team at the beginning of 2010.
