| Description: | Bioinformatics research activities at University of Aarhus were initiated in the late 1980's and grew considerably during the 1990's. The Bioinformatics Research Center (BiRC) was established in January 2001 as a collaboration between the Faculty of Science and the Faculty of Health, including Basic Research in Computer Science, Department of Computer Science, Department of Biology, Department of Molecular Biology and Department of Theoretical Statistics. Bioinformatics focuses on developing computational methods for collecting, handling and analyzing biological data. Research in bioinformatics ranges from formulating models and theories about biological systems, to constructing algorithms and developing computer programs. It requires expertise in many traditional disciplines including biology, molecular biology, statistics, physics, chemistry, and computer science. |
