Introducing the SBRN

The Scottish Bioinformatics Research Network (SBRN) was established in 2005 to foster the development of Bioinformatics research in Scotland.

The partners in SBRN include the Universities of Dundee, Edinburgh and Glasgow as well as the Scottish Agricultural Biology Research Institutes (SABRIs).

An important aim of the SBRN is to reach all potential researchers and users of bioinformatics in Scotland whether in academia or industry and irrespective of whether they interact with the core SBRN academic partners.  For this reason, a key component of SBRN is the Scottish Bioinformatics Forum (SBForum), an outreach organisation that is developing information, training and networking resources for bioinformatics across Scotland.
