Advanced methods in biology

The bioimaging and bioinformatics groups offer important tools to advance modern biology. Bioimaging acts as a powerful lens that provides a high-resolution view of biological structures and processes at the molecular, cellular, and tissue levels, revealing details about the dynamics and function of these systems.

Meanwhile, bioinformatics works as a set of sophisticated computational tools dedicated to integrating data using intelligent algorithms to analyze, interpret, and extract information from enormous datasets generated by these and other modern technologies.

Advanced methodologies have the potential to revolutionize our understanding of biological processes in health and in illnesses, creating new opportunities for early diagnosis, the development of personalized therapies, and to discover prognostic biomarkers.
