Bioinformatics combines Biology and Computer Science and can be divided into three main subfields: a) the development of new algorithms and methods for the assessment of large data sets, b) the analysis and interpretation of various types of data, including biological sequences, protein structures and domains, as well as clinical and biomedical ones, and c) the development and implementation of tools that allow efficient access and management of different types of information. In the Bioinformatics laboratory, special emphasis is given on independent research in up-to-date areas, such as the computational analysis of proteins and biomolecules in general, the development of computational techniques for better studying biological systems, including environmental and aquatic ones, as well as biomedical technology.
