We partner with researchers to unlock insights from next-generation sequencing and genomics data - from the first spark of an idea through to publication-ready results. Our expertise spans study design, cutting-edge analysis methods, and custom tool development.
As active contributors to major interdisciplinary research projects, we build robust data pipelines and create intuitive visualization tools that make complex datasets accessible. Our high-performance computing infrastructure and extensive software ecosystem enable us to tackle even the most demanding analytical challenges.
Beyond service and collaboration, we're committed to shaping the future of bioinformatics. Through hands-on research experiences, specialized courses, and our Master's program in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology, we mentor the next generation of computational biologists ready to drive scientific discovery.

Heidi Tschanz-Lischer and Rémy Bruggmann from the IBU contributed to an exciting study investigating the regenerative limits of the heart in Xiphophorus fish. The research reveals that unlike zebrafish, platyfish and swordtails lack a vascularized compact myocardium, which prevents efficient cardiac repair. Following injury, these species exhibit delayed inflammation and fail to form reinforcing tissue, leading to permanent scarring and pseudoaneurysm-like protrusions. These findings provide crucial insights into how evolutionary traits, such as immune response regulation, determine regenerative success or failure in vertebrates.
