The biochemist and expert in bioinformatics Dr. Miguel Andrade-Navarro of the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Biology (MDC) Berlin-Buch has accepted an appointment to a full professorship (W3) in Mainz. The Chair of Bioinformatics was recently established at the Faculty of Biology of the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) and the new Institute of Molecular Biology gGmbH (IMB), which is funded by the Boehringer Ingelheim Foundation. This underlines the importance of bioinformatics for exploring the mechanisms involved in human disease and identifying targets for the development of better therapies. Dr. Andrade-Navarro assumed his new post in spring this year.
The Spanish researcher studied chemistry at Complutense University of Madrid, where he also received his PhD. Since 2007 he has headed the “Computational Biology and Data Mining” group at the MDC. Before working in Berlin he was a researcher at the University of Ottawa, Canada and at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Heidelberg in the EMBL/MDC research group of Dr. Peer Bork.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
