Bioinformatics, Swiss universities, Life Sciences, Software, Databases, Proteins, UniProtKB / Swiss-Prot, Genomics, Biology, Biophysics, Population Genetics

Programme de recherche (Anglais)

The SIB includes world-class research and service groupsin Geneva, Lausanne, Berne, Basel and Zurich in the following fields :

• biophysics
• genomics
• imaging
• modelling /data mining
• phylogeny/evolution
• population genetics
• proteomics

• systems biology
• transcriptomics

Its expertise is widely appreciated and its services, software tools and databases are used worldwide by researchers in life sciences.

Description succincte (Anglais)

The SIB is a Swiss success story at the frontier of biology and computer science. When the SIB was founded in 1998, bioinformatics was still in its infancy – both in Switzerland and abroad. The SIB founders were pioneers – shaping an organisation of exceptional quality. The SIB’s founding is also due to the visionary support of a few Swiss politicians.

Modelled on Switzerland’s federal structure, the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics is organised as a federation of bioinformatics research groups from leading Swiss universities and the Swiss Federal Institutes of Technology.

Objectifs du projet (Anglais)

The SIB has a long-standing tradition of producing state-of-the-art software for the life science research community, as well as carefully annotated databases including UniProtKB / Swiss-Prot, the world’s most widely used source of information about proteins.

Objectifs du projet (Français)
