Bioinformatics and Systems Biology (BSysBio) is working at two different locations: The main part of the group is a subgroup of the Microorganisms and Plants research group at UIT. The other part of the group is affiliated with the Department of Biomedicine at the University of Bergen. BSySBio focuses on the development of mathematical models of molecular biological processes and related bioinformatics tools as well as on the development of new approaches for bioinformatics data analysis.
Bioinformatics and systems biology subgroup has received continuous funding from both European (Horizon 2020) and national funding sources (Research Council of Norway (RCN)). Projects with funding of more than 1 Mio. NOK are listed below.
The group has been developing a number of bioinformatics approaches and tools as well as mathematical models. All models are made publicly available through the EBI Biomodels database and bioinformatics tools are released as open software on GitHub.
The group engages in different outreach activities. We write popular science articles and short publication release notes on the university website and on the Linkedin page of the group leader. In addition, we have a blog that contains popular science articles about bioinformatics.
