Bioinformatics and Computational Biology

The Bioinformatics Program develops graduate and undergraduate teaching and interdisciplinary research and involves faculty, staff, and students of several academic units, including the Institute of Arctic Biology, the Department of Biology and Wildlife, the Department of Mathematics, the Institute of Marine Science, the Arctic Region Supercomputing Center, and the graduate program in biochemistry and molecular biology at the University of Alaska Fairbanks.

The Bioinformatics Program is supported by the Life Sciences Informatics Group, which provides technical computing services, such as database development and management, data dissemination service, optimization of technical software, custom data analysis pipelining, maintenance of computational clusters, and education of computational aspects of biology. The Life Sciences Informatics group is jointly supported by campus-wide research groups, including the IAB Center for Alaska Native Health Research (CANHR), the IDeA Network of Biomedical Research Excellence (INBRE), the IAB Spatial Ecology Laboratory, and grants by individual researchers.
