Bioinformatics Industrial User Platform

The BioInformatics Industrial User Platform (BIUP) is a group of Dutch companies that use bioinformatics expertise and tools in research and product development. It is an open platform for knowledge exchange and informal discussions.

BIUP members have a common interest in:

  • informal discussions between industrial parties that use bioinformatics tools for research and product development,
  • an infrastructure for joined bioinformatics research (e.g. safe data repository),
  • stimulating relevant bioinformatics research,
  • shaping the competences of the bioinformaticians of the future.

BIUP organises several activities during the year:

  • company visits,
  • industry meeting at the annual BioSB conference,
  • networking events.
