Bioinformatics

In the field of bioinformatics, the SMCS works closely with BIOINFO, another UCLouvain technology platform dedicated to providing technical and methodological support in bioinformatics. The platform offers, among other services:

Advice on project design and proposal writing, as well as on the planning of experimental designs;
Analysis of transcriptomic, genomic, proteomic, metabolomic and epigenetic data generated using high-throughput technologies such as sequencing, microarrays and mass spectrometry;
Management of the Health Sciences Sector computing cluster;
Support for the use of public databases (TCGA, GTEx, CCLE, ENCODE etc.);
Development of dedicated algorithms and software.

Throughout the year, BIOINFO and SMCS also organise a range of bioinformatics training courses, from introductory to advanced levels, covering widely used software such as R.
