What we do
SIS is an interdisciplinary bioinformatics and scientific IT support group which builds up computational tools. These tools range from lab databases to reusable framework components that enable and support both data analysis and data management in life science research and beyond.
We collaborate with Swiss national research / research support initiatives, as well as European research groups and industry in the life science sector – such as like SPHN, PHRT, and BioMedITSystemsX.ch, HPC-CH and the swissuniversities EnhanceR community. We improve and port scientific software, develop data management solutions and provide associated services. We also integrate and operate data analysis pipelines, and provide training and consulting in databases, scientific software development, high-performance and cloud computing.
