Bioinformatics and Health Data Science
We are a research group led by Dr. Pedro Carmona Sáez, affiliated to the Department of Statistics and OR at the University of Granada. The group is located at the Centre for Genomics and Oncological Research (GENYO), and is mainly focused on developing and applying new computational and statistical methods for the analysis and interpretation of biolomedical datasets. Omics technologies are allowing researchers to measure thousands of variables simultaneously, generating large amount of data. This has fueled bioinformatics, statistics and data science in the biomedical field as essential disciplines to implement proper techniques to manage and extract meaningful knowledge. In this context, we are developing data analysis methods to aid in deciphering the molecular mechanisms associated with complex diseases by integrating -omics data , electronic health records and applying system biomedicine-based approaches.
