BioCloud, a new startup with the participation of GRIB

A new startup BioCloud, has been created with the participation of Alba Gutiérrez-Sacristan, researcher of the  Integrative Biomedical Informatics Group of GRIB (IMIM-UPF) as Chief Science Officer (CSO).

The newborn startup BioCloud aims to provide cloud solutions for bioinformatic challenges such as the lack of computational power, lack of reproducibility of data analysis or data sharing difficulties among others. The startup also provides teaching tools for university courses and workshops when high computational power or data storage is needed. Currently Biocloud has started by providing support at Master of Omic Data Analysis (UVIc) and Master of Bioinformatics (UAB).

The other members of the professional team of BioCloud are Juan Ramón González, group leader of the Bioinformatic Unit at CREAL, Guillem Ylla, researcher at Institute of Evolutionary Biology (IBE), and the informatic engineer, Ernest Bofill.
