In the Translational Bioinformatics Unit (TransBio) we aim to address relevant challenges and bottlenecks in the course of translating basic science research into clinical knowledge. TransBio is a multi-disciplinary team formed by individuals with different combinations of biological, clinical and quantitative knowledge.
TransBio team has researchers in two separate locations: Navarrabiomed (Pamplona, Spain) and Biological and Environmental Sciences and Engineering at KAUST (Saudi Arabia) . TransBio has long-term established collaborations with teams at Karolinska Institutet, King´s College London and KAUST.
If you are interested in working with us, see here for details (if an offer is available) or please contact us directly.
URGENT: we are recruiting postdoctoral researchers.
