    <h4>Bioinformatics platform</h4>
    <p>
      Bioinformatics platform is a research group
      at <a href="https://www.mdc-berlin.de/13800178/en/bimsb">Berlin
      Institute of Medical System Biology (BIMSB)</a>
      of <a href="https://www.mdc-berlin.de/">MDC-Berlin</a>, and headed by <a href="http://bioinformatics.mdc-berlin.de/team.html#group-leader">Dr. Altuna Akalin</a>. The
      platform creates and maintains bioinformatics tools and
      databases, and studies biology using&nbsp; available or in-house
      computational techniques. In addition, the platform provides
      collaboration opportunities and services for BIMSB and MDC
      scientists.

    <h4>Research interests</h4>
    <p>
      We have a broad interest in <b>gene regulation</b>, specifically
      transcriptional regulation and association of transcriptional
      regulation with <b>epigenomics</b>. We are aiming to use data
      intensive computational methods to uncover patterns in gene
      regulation relating to cell differentiation and complex
      diseases.

  <div class="large-4 columns">
    <h4>Resources and training</h4>
    <p>
      In addition to collaboration opportunities, the platform offers
      knowledge-base, help-desk and training for BIMSB scientists. The
      databases, software and how-tos maintained by the platform is
      listed on the <a href="resources.html">resources</a> page. The
      training opportunities will be summarized
      at <a href="training.html">training</a> page.
