Netherlands Bioinformatics Centre

The Netherlands Bioinformatics Centre (NBIC) is the Dutch network of bioinformatics experts active in research, education and support.

BioRange (Research)

Cutting edge bioinformatics research for progress in life sciences.
The NBIC Research programme BioRange is where biology, mathematics and computer science come together in a collection of research projects that address biological questions through the development of new methods, software and databases.

BioAssist (Support)

Working together on bioinformatics problems we all encounter.
In BioAssist, biologists and (bio)informaticians work together in Task Forces to solve common problems. We focus on sharing and re-using what we create. Working together, NBIC makes it possible to use the large scale computer infrastructure available in The Netherlands.

BioWise (Education)

Educating current and next generations of bioinformaticians
NBIC's Education programme BioWise offers bioinformatics courses for all levels. From introductory practicals for high school pupils to advanced courses for PhD students through the NBIC PhD School.
