The University Pompeu Fabra (UPF) will participate in the project through the Research Unit on Biomedical Informatics (GRIB) , which is a joint research unit of both the UPF and the Municipal Institute of Medical Research (IMIM) in Barcelona. IMIM is also affiliated to the Universitat Pompeu Fabra as university institute and many GRIB members are teaching staff of this university. The Research Unit on Biomedical Informatics is currently composed of more than 60 members, coordinated by Dr. Ferran Sanz. The unit is organized in 7 labs and a management team that correspond to the main activity lines of our group: Computational Genomics, Structural Bioinformatics, Computational Biochemistry and Biophysics, Chemogenomics, Computed-assisted Drug Design, Complex Systems and Integrative Biomedical Informatics. The unit has a wide experience in the participation and coordination of research projects funded by the European Commission. In the last years, the unit has participated in 14 European projects. On the other hand, GRIB is involved in pre and postgraduate teaching of the bioinformatics and biocomputation disciplines within the School of Health and Life Sciences of UPF.
