¹û¶³Ó°Ôº

A new hub of bioinformatics expertise for cancer genomics.

The Bill Lyons Informatics Centre (BLIC) is a sixth floor extension to the existing ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº Cancer Institute. Named following a lead gift from the Lyons Charitable Trust, it was completed in November 2013. The new Centre provides a base for up to 12 bioinformaticians and computational biologists. 

The Centre focuses on genomics studies. Dr Javier Herrero, Head of the Informatics Centre, says: "This addition to the ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº Cancer Institute is instrumental for many genomics projects currently being developed, from cancer classification to personal genomics and patient stratification."
