About us

Datascience is an important component of biomedical and translationalresearch, where data of multiple modalities are being constantlygenerated at unprecedented scale. The Research Data Integrationgroup in the Biomedical Datahub Division of the BioinformaticsInstitute (BII), A*STAR, aims to bridge the complexity ofcomputational biology and data science with the needs of biologistsand clinicians to drive biological discoveries and predicttranslational outcomes. One of our immediate challenges is toanalyze and integrate and analyze multi-omics, imaging and clinicaldata generated by biomedical institutes in A*STAR, healthcareinstitutions and national initiatives in Singapore to improve theusability and interpretability of large-scale multimodal datasetsof cancer, metabolic diseases, and other diseases. We seekmotivated individuals to join us to push the potential ofbiomedical data in truly benefittingpatients.
