Institute for BiomedicineThe Institute for Biomedicine, located at Bolzano's NOI Techpark, is a key component of Eurac Research, dedicated to improving health through precision prevention research.
This interdisciplinary effort seeks to predict, slow or preempt illness progression by understanding genetic, biological, environmental, and lifestyle factors.
Utilizing a decade-long population study in collaboration with the South Tyrolean Healthcare Service, the institute offers access to extensive data and biological materials suitable for such research.
With a focus on neurological, cardiovascular, and metabolic health, the team employs state-of-the-art labs and innovative data science to span the full translational research cycle, from data generation to potential clinical applicationThe Institute for Biomedicine at Eurac Research is seeking a highly motivated researcher to join the Computational Genomics Group, to work on the DyHealthNet project.
DyHealthNet is a DFG-funded research project run by FAU (Biomedical Network Science Lab), TUM (Big Data in Biomedicine Group), Eurac Research (Institute for Biomedicine), and UNIBZ (Database Systems Group).
