The Bioinformatics Group offers an excellent, collaborative working environment within a diverse group of researchers. We develop novel computational methods for the representation, analysis and integration of biological data, to understand how the interplay of genomes, transcripts, proteins and metabolites results in the phenotypic complexity observed in living systems. We maintain extensive computational resources and have access to the university's high-performance compute systems. As a group, we value (inter)national collaboration and strive for excellence in education and research. We teach (advanced) courses in bioinformatics and data science at the BSc, MSc and PhD level. Our group is strongly embedded in the Plant Sciences Group, collaborates intensively with Wageningen Research and is involved in the efforts of Wageningen University & Research to promote the use and development of data science in its research areas.
