Pioneers in Bioinformatics in Latin America
Center for Bioinformatics, Simulations, and Modeling (CBSM)
Training new generations of scientists and advancing projects with global impact.
First in Latin America, the University of Talca created a School of Engineering in Bioinformatics. Since 2004, scientific work is conducted within the Bioinformatics Engineering School and the constant development of new scientific projects led to the legal establishment of the Center for Bioinformatics, Simulations, and Modeling.
- Research Areas
The CBSM stimulates the formation of young scientists qualified to generate knowledge in the areas of Structural Biology, Genomics, Computational Chemistry, and Biophysics. It offers a multidisciplinary work environment provided by scientists with backgrounds in diverse natural sciences like Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Genomics, and Pharmaceutical Sciences among others.
Development of complex computational tools to be applied in bioinformatics, biotechnology, health, agronomy, among other areas.
Study of genome sequences, the function of their elements, their epigenetic and genetic expression; of its structure and evolution in populations of individuals.
Study of the matter using physical and chemical concepts, through computational tools.
Study of the structural characteristics of macromolecules and how they relate to their functions.
- Labs
Dedicated to advancing biotechnological research, our laboratory focuses on protein production and analysis. With expert staff and cutting-edge tools, we support bioinformatics and scientific projects.
