Life sciences are rapidly converting to a “whole genome” approach, with large volumes of data becoming available by means of high-throughput technologies(e.g., genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics). Collecting and analysing such a vast amount of data needs a close and continuous interdisciplinary collaboration between life scientists, engineers, computer scientists and bioinformaticians. Several teams at ULB and VUB adopt bioinformatics ...

Modern life science research is a highly multidisciplinary endeavor often requiring the joint analysis of highly heterogeneous data sources, such as large-scale single-cell multi-omics datasets, structured ontology-driven annotations, unstructured published literature and imaging data. Using a holistic approach, one can often detect patterns which provide deeper insights into the biological and/or pathophysiological processes under study. ...

The Biostatistical Centre combines theoretical biostatistical research with pratical data analysis. The major research areas of the group are: repeated measurements, clinical trials, surrogate endpoints, missing data, mixed models, Bayesian statistics. The Centre has organized workshops, international and national courses in collaboration with institutes from abroad such as University college of London, Free University of Berlin, Lancaster ...
