Message from the Director

The Centre for Bioinformatics and Computational Biology replaced the previous Bioinformatics and Computational Biology Unit in 2014, which had been been operating successfully for more than 10 years now. We have graduated a series of BSc Hons, MSc and PhD students and published a variety of articles in peer-reviewed international journals. We have also been extensively involved in providing short courses for the on-campus, South African and African scientific community.

Over the next 5 years, we would like to strengthen our research activities, and optimize our capabilities to provide services and support for the University of Pretoria's biological researchers, especially in view of the huge expansion of genomics-related activities.

We look forward to making exciting biological discoveries in partnership with you!

Fourie Joubert
