Background
The mission of the Biostatistics/Bioinformatics Unit is to conduct collaborative research and to provide consultation and quantitative research resources to all IRB Barcelona research groups.
We assist scientists by providing both short and long-term consultancy services in the following areas:
- Experimental design: sample size, study design, planning of statistical methodology
- Data analysis: clinical or biomedical databases, genomics data
- Assistance with statistical methodology in own or others’ research
- Software: help in using software, develop software to meet special data analysis or study design needs
The facility conducts methodological research and develops resources in all of the above-mentioned areas.

Projects
CERCAGINYS és la plataforma d’accés a les infraestructures científiques i tècniques dels 41 centres CERCA. La iniciativa vol optimitzar l’accés a aquestes instal·lacions per a tota la comunitat científica i tecnològica i, molt especialment, vol evidenciar la possibilitat que el sector privat empresarial i industrial també pot fer-ne ús, accedint, així mateix, als serveis de personal tècnic altament qualificat. La proposta forma part d’un projecte més ampli, vinculat al Pla d’Acció d’Infraestructures finançat pel Ministeri de Ciència i Innovació a través de la I-CERCA.
