SLUBI

SLU’s bioinformatics infrastructure


Our goal

Our goal is to provide support and training in bioinformatics for SLU staff, and to build a strong community of bioinformaticians within SLU. Our staff is located on the 3 SLU campuses in Ultuna, Umeå and Alnarp. We want to join forces and coordinate teaching activities, common resources (hardware, software).

We also serve as a link to the broader bioinformatics community in Sweden, such as the National Bioinformatics Infrastructure Sweden, NBIS, facilitating collaboration and knowledge exchange.
