Bioinformatics

Overview

Cranfield's bioinformatics activity comprises a group of entirely computer-based researchers concentrating on the following main research areas:

  • Bioinformatics for mass spectrometry based proteomics.
  • Chemometrics for interpretation of chemical & metabolomic data.
  • Data integration for systems biology.
  • Structural biology.
  • High performance computing.

We apply this expertise to a range of application areas, including systems biology, drug discovery, toxicology, analytical methods development, biomarker discovery and basic biology.

Our bioinformatics research is currently funded by government research councils (BBSRC, EPSRC), the Wellcome Trust, the European Commission and several commercial companies including Oxford BioTherapeutics and GlaxoSmithKline.
