Modern biomedical research techniques, such as the study of genomes and the application of artificial intelligence, require advanced computational and data science. We call the application of this science "bioinformatics." Bioinformatics accelerates scientific discovery and unlocks new avenues for medical treatment.
Selected Bioinformatics Services
Bioinformatics and Computational Biosciences Branch
NIAID staff and their collaborators can access an integrated and interdisciplinary support organization that enables them to overcome technological barriers and advance biomedical discovery.
Integrated Data Science at the Research Technologies Branch
NIAID and NIH investigators can request collaborative support from computational scientists offering expertise in bioinformatics, image analysis, artificial intelligence/machine learning, proteomic, structural modeling, clinical data analysis, and statistics and experimental design.
Resources for Researchers
Researchers can search and filter on a variety of NIAID platforms and custom applications to support bioinformatics, computational biology, data sharing, and more.
NIAID's Work in Bioinformatics
NIAID is a leader in the field of bioinformatics and our work is growing and expanding as technologies advance. Research groups at NIAID support the bioinformatics needs of our internal principal investigators and labs as well as external researchers. NIAID supported contracts combined with internally developed technologies offer services related to bioinformatics. For example, our Bioinformatics Resource Centers for Infectious Diseases program offers robust computational platforms to data-driven tools and standards to the infectious diseases research community. In addition, the Office of Data Science and Emerging Technologies is dedicated to data science in general to help guide larger and more complex data challenges as well as direct data sharing policy.
