Services
Bioinformatics methods can provide critical support to research in the life sciences. Well known providers of bioinformatics services include the
European Bioinformatics Institute of the
EMBL in Cambridge, UK, and the
NIH's
NCBI in Bethesda, USA. Established databases and algorithms can easily be queried there by life scientists via the internet.
For reasons of limited resources, our group can unfortunately not offer bioinformatic services to other researchers. We are happy to advise colleagues, however, and gladly help with smaller tasks whenever possible. Moreover, it goes without saying that we are available for collaborations in our specialist areas (e.g., microarray data analysis, see Research for details). In case a collaboration requires additional resources, we are of course interested in jointly obtaining third party funding.
The group has
constructed an efficient infrastructure for rapid
prototyping, deep data integration, and model
development. For collaborators, we can offer a hotel
facility with access to our servers.
Boku belongs to the
consortium of three universities with access to the
Vienna
Scientific Cluster, featuring over 3,400 cores and 11 TB
of RAM. This allows us to also consider computationally more
demanding applications.
