staff researchers of theoretical biology and bioinformatics at
the
biology department use mathematics, computer science and
bioinformatics to perform fundamental biological research in a
variety of biological disciplines. Currently it is seeking to
strengthen its bioinformatics research. The bioinformatics group
develops novel bioinformatics approaches in the areas of
comparative
genomics and data integration to pursue research into evolution,
signalling networks and plant bioinformatics. The group is part
of
the Institute of Biodynamics and Biocomplexity (IBB), embedded
in one
of the largest Biology departments in the Netherlands (>200
new
students per year). The group teaches bioinformatics to biology
students at the bachelor and master level. PhD students in the
group
have diverse backgrounds ranging from biology, chemistry to
computer
science, and typically half of them are from abroad. The IBB
