Welcome
Welcome to the BHF Centre of Research Excellence Bioinformatics Team at the Queen's Medical Research Institute at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland, UK. We are based in the University / BHF Centre for Cardiovascular Science and funded by the British Heart Foundation (BHF Centre of Research Excellence).
Our team has co-authored 20 peer reviewed papers including recent high impact work in PNAS, the European Heart Journal, Diabetes, and the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology (JASN).
Our Bioinformatics Team is a founder member of the new Edinburgh Bioinformatics.
BIOINFORMATICS SERVICES NEW
Our team provides bioinformatics services to biologists.
We can help throughout the research process from funding application; experiment design; data analysis and interpretation through to publication.
Our main focus is high throughput biology: microarrays, next generation sequencing and data integration.
See our services page or contact the team for more details.
We are also part of our Institute's shared research facilities team: SuRF@QMRI
