Overview
The Bioinformatics Program at the Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute aims to build bioinformatics capacity through collaboration (internal and external), support and training.
The program offers data analysis across a range diverse technology including genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics and metagenomics / microbiota, as well as cross-omic integration.
Expertise
A diverse set of analytical techniques is employed, including statistical analysis, machine learning, network analysis and high-dimensional data visualisation as well as the design of computational algorithms.
This enables the identification of genetic variants, genes and other biomolecular / organismal entities that differ between conditions, enabling researchers to make disease predictions, infer pathogenesis and identify targets for intervention.
Access and contact
Access to the capability is via collaborative research.
