The Digital Technologies Unit is responsible for managing all information technology topics at GIMM. Our goal is to leverage technology to drive innovation and efficiency in the institute. This allows us to work and support Data Science, Bioinformatics using from AI and Blockchain alogn with general IT services and support.

Services provided:

• Advanced Data Analysis
  The unit develops custom statistical inference tools, mechanistic models, and machine learning solutions for data analysis. Along with a broad range of bioinformatic topics, ranging from genomics and transcriptomics to metagenomics and custom bioinformatic analysis. We also support several stages of the analysis, from experimental design to the production of plots for publications.
  • Experimental Design & Data Analysis
  • Mathematical & Computational Modelling
  • Machine Learning
  • Bioinformatics Analysis (Transcriptomics, Metagenomics, DNA Sequencing)
  • Other Bioinformatic Services (Quality assessment of sequencing reads and/or alignments, Denovo assembly of small genomes)

• Research Data Management
  We offer services covering the entire data life cycle, supporting data management, and adherence to Open and FAIR data principles.
  • Research Data Management Consulting
  • eLab Training

• Research Computing Platforms / HPC
  GIMM benefits with two HPC clusters for the benefit of our community.
