Objective
The main goals of this proposal are to establish a strong and diverse bioinformatics centre in Central Europe, catalysing collaborations between mathematicians, biologists, doctors and physicists, engineers and computer scientists and to integrate the Renyi Institute into the network of the European bioinformatics centres. As one of the central goals of the forthcoming FP7 is to improve Europe's competitiveness with the overwhelming Japanese and US bioinformatics research, it conforms very well with the European main research trends. Bioinformatics and its core component, computational biology are interesting new interdisciplinary, quickly developing research areas based on discrete mathematical methods, rather than the well-known classical analytical tools of mathematical biology.
The mathematical part of bioinformatics involves parts of probability theory and statistics, which is traditionally very strong at the Renyi Institute, as well as combinatorics, in which the Institute is considered to be one of the leading scientific schools in the world. Some researchers of the Institute has already started working on bioinformatics and related topics including mathematical immunology, the application of transformational grammars in biological structure prediction, phylogenetic tree inferring, stochastic modelling of insertions and deletions, and algorithmical and statistical properties of bioinformatics methods. Realizing the significance of bioinformatics research, the Institute has initiated an informal bioinformatics research centre/group (including biologists, physicians, computer scientists and mathematicians) a few years ago, which serves as the core of the recent proposal.
