CORE TECHNOLOGIES

VHIO’s Bioinformatics Unit provides research groups with state-of-the-art computational resources for the analysis of omics data related to cancer.

Our mission is to support research groups through the implementation of state-of-the-art bioinformatic pipelines to process multi-omics data sets.

We collaborate with investigators at VHIO across multiple projects. Our participation includes several steps of a project, from its conception or experimental design through to the bioinformatics data analysis and final publication. We give special importance to visualization and functional interpretation. In addition, we also provide advice and mentorship to bioinformaticians integrated in the research groups.

Our computational procedures are based on open-source software developed in a safe and reproducible environment. In 2022 we set up a cluster infrastructure for our Unit, to also to be used by other bioinformaticians in-house. Thanks to the Excelencia Severo Ochoa accreditation that VHIO received in 2021 as a Severo Ochoa Center of Excellence (2022-2026), we envisage continued growth of this infrastructure in 2023.

This Unit is a member of the Spanish translational bioinformatics network, TransBioNet, which is coordinated by the Spanish National Bioinformatics Institute (INB) and works in conjunction with the European Life Science Infrastructure for Biological Information (ELIXIR). We also represent VHIO in various consortia and taskforces.

Research Lines

  • Set up an appropriate and scalable computational infrastructure for bioinformatics analyses.
  • The implementation of state-of-the-art pipelines and tools for the analysis and visualization of different omics datasets, including publicly available datasets.
  • Application of advanced bioinformatics techniques for the identification and validation of biomarkers for cancer diagnostics.
  • Generation of computational models to integrate different types of omics data that foster personalized medicine using classical or cutting-edge machine learning techniques.
  • Establish collaborative research with VHIO groups to promote the use of advanced computational methods for data analysis, visualization, and interpretation.
  • Conform a group of skilled bioinformaticians who can support problem-solving in many omics data analysis scenarios.
  • Coordinate an internal bioinformatics network aimed at sharing knowledge and optimizing resources. As an example, we organize a monthly Bioinformatics Journal Club to discuss a hot topic in the field.
