About

The Statistics and Bioinformatics Research Group has as its main objective the research, development and application of statistical methods in problems arising in the interface between bioinformatics and statistics.

Our initial interest was the analysis of "single-omics" data such as expression microarrays. Later we have evolved to be interested in problems and methods for the integrative analysis of the omics data. We are currently collaborating on various projects of this kind in fields such as neuroscience, immunology or metabolomics.

Our group interacts in different ways with other research groups

• We are part of the GRBio, "Grup de Recerca en Bioestadística i Bioinformàtica", a consolidated research group of the Generalitat de Catalunya, to which most of our members belong.

• We have a long-term, fruitful collaboration with the Biomarkers in Nutrition and Metabolomic Research Group with whom we work together in a variety of projects in the interface between metabolomics, and nutrition.

• We have a kind relation with the Statistics and Bioinformatics Unit (UEB) in Vall d'Hebron Research Institute (VHIR), which we contributed to create and which is also led by Alex Sanchez.
