Welcome to the Boku Chair of Bioinformatics

We are interested in the study of complex systems in living organisms. Novel views augmenting the classical gene by gene approaches are required to overcome the engineered redundancies and combinatorial effects prevalent in higher eukaryotes. We therefore combine

• work to establish improved quantitative experimental assays, such as microarrays or differential in-gel electrophoresis, and
• development of modern computational methods, such as hierarchical probabilistic models or integration of heterogeneous data sources,

focussed by biological studies in our laboratory and collaborations.

Highlights of our research include:

• Optimization of microarray design, probe signal interpretation (read more)
• Advanced models and tools for expression profiling (read more)
• State-of-the-art applications and integrated analyses (read more)

The Vienna Science Chair of Bioinformatics was founded 2005 on winning a five-year WWTF startup grant together with its partners. It now is a permanent chair embedded in the Dept of Biotechnology and endowed by Boku University Vienna.
