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.
