Ferran Sanz, director of the joint UPF-IMIM Research Programme on Biomedical Informatics GRIB, will be the scientific director of the new platform Bioinformatics Barcelona (BiB)

Three Catalan universities (UAB, UPC and UPF) and representatives of ten biological and biomedical research institutes, together with the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC) and BioCat, last week signed an agreement to create Bioinformatics Barcelona (BiB), a platform which aims to promote training, research, and the transfer of technology in bioinformatics and hopefully will turn the Barcelona area into an international point of reference in the field of bioinformatics through cooperation between universities, centres of research, and other public and private entities.
