Projects and Collaborations

There are three major topics of collaboration in the CBSU at the present:

• Web computing and software development 
  Customizing existing software and creating web-based interfaces
• Protein structure prediction
  Using advanced software tools and our expertise in this topic in order to help building 3D structures and models of proteins
• Data management, data analysis and data mining
  Computational service for high-throughput genomics and functional genomics research projects
