BILS - Bioinformatics Infrastructure for Life Sciences
CLiC - Computational Life Science Cluster

Welcome to a presentation of BILS and Biosupport.se!
BILS (Bioinformatics Infrastructure for Life Sciences) is a distributed national research infrastructure providing bioinformatics support to life science researchers in Sweden. Present BILS staff has expertise in protein bioinformatics, mass spectrometry (MS), next generation sequencing (NGS), large-scale data handling, metagenomics, systems biology, and RNAseq. In this meeting BILS and how BILS staff can help out in research projects will be presented. We will also present a new web forum, biosupport.se

UCMR Mini-Symposium - Invitation to UCMR Postdoc seminars

Place: Lecture room Stora hörsalen, KB3B1, KBC

Umeå Centre for Microbial Research (UCMR) is an interdisciplinary research centre established by a consortium of scientists representing medical & molecular microbiology, molecular & structural biology, chemistry & physics, and is devoted to top quality research and novel applications in the fields of microbial pathogenesis. The idea with this Mini-Symposium is to highlight the research conducted by post-docs within UCMR research groups and promote collaboration within UCMR but hopefully also lead to new collaborations both within UCMR as well with other research groups.
