 | | Because understanding complex biological principles now requires an integrated approach including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, computer modeling, and advanced analytical tools, VBI fosters collaborations within the Institute, Virginia Tech, and within all of academe, industry, and government. |
 | | The scientists at VBI define bioinformatics in the broadest sense by combining approaches from a wide variety of disciplines, including the life sciences, physics, chemistry, mathematics, computer science, and engineering. |
 | | Coupled with our efforts in informatics, our research groups are developing new experimental techniques, applying existing and novel techniques to complex biological problems, and developing new analytic and theoretical tools to convert biological data into useful knowledge. |
