MMB-BioIT
The MMB-BioIT Lab is a team of researchers with different backgrounds, part of the Medical Microbiology department at the UMCU (Utrecht, the Netherlands). Our efforts are dedicated to develop bioinformatic tools and analyze data to track local and global transmission of bacterial pathogens and to provide information on the acquisition of determinants that contribute to resistance to antibiotics, virulence or other fitness traits.
Highlights
Our Research
The emergence of antibiotic resistant bacterial infections worldwide highlights the importance of monitoring these outbreaks. We analyse and provide tools to characterize these bacteria, their mobile genetic elements and their transmission patterns.
Our Tools
We also release data and software to enable reproducible computational biology analyses following the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable) principles. Find more about our tools in the link below.
Our Team
We are a group of enthusiastic scientists with different interests and backgrounds that work in close collaboration with experimentalists and clinicians.
