Center for Molecular and Biomolecular Informatics
The Center for Molecular and Biomolecular Informatics (CMBI) does research and education, and provides services in bioinformatics and cheminformatics.
Mission & vision
Our mission
Our mission is to add value to personal health data by their translation into integrative knowledge and actionable information.
Our vision
- CMBI develops bioinformatics approaches that contribute to the understanding of disease mechanisms, personalized therapies and interventions, and a learning health care system
- CMBI is committed to the reusability of their data, tools, and services
- CMBI provides bioinformatics researchers in Radboudumc with a platform for exchange of knowledge and expertise
- CMBI contributes to the education of BMW, MLW, and MMD students so that they can apply and understand the principles behind (existing) bioinformatics tools

Researchers at the CMBI contribute to several courses at both the Faculty of Science and the Medical Faculty. We provide courses in Structural Bioinformatics, Comparative Genomics, Data Analysis, and programming courses such as Java. We specifically focus on the Molecular Life Science students, Biomedical Sciences students and participants in the master Molecular Mechanisms of Disease, although some of our courses can be chosen by Biology, Chemistry or Medical students as well.
Our mission is to provide a basic understanding in Bioinformatic principles for bachelor students as this was shown to be beneficial for those who want to pursue a career in Life Sciences. Follow-up courses are available for those who want to gain greater insight in our field.
For MLS/Biology students it is even possible to follow the B-track by choosing a combination of (master) Bioinformatics courses and internships at Bioinformatics departments.
Our researchers also teach in special interest courses and summer schools here at the Radboudumc, the Radboud University and elsewhere.
For more information, you can contact dr. Hanka Venselaar, education coordinator at the CMBI.
