Bioinformatics
The last few years have seen a huge rise in the range of fields that require computational analysis or bioinformatics. In order to to properly manage and process large datasets, the Institute is currently building a team of four or five informaticists with complementary skills that will be overseen by an informatics committee.

The focus of skills for each of these individuals will be:

  • Microarrays and relatives such as high throughput screening;
  • Mass spectrometry – including installation and maintenance of user tools, and automated data extraction and data mining;
  • Computational modelling; and
  • Image analysis of microscope and screening data.
