Translational Research

With focus on removing barriers to multi-disciplinary collaboration, translational research has the potential to drive the advancement of applied science. An attempt to bridge these barriers has been undertaken particularly in the medical domain where the term translational medicine has been applied to a research approach that seeks to move "from bench to bedside" or from laboratory experiments through clinical trials to actual point-of-care patient applications.

We, at Astrid, have a multidisciplinary team of researchers from the field of mathematics, computer sciences, medical and molecular biology to conduct state-of-the-art research in the field of genomics. Our projects utilize these scientific capabilities on medical research (diagnostics or therapeutics) as well as on energy genomics.

Bioinformatics Research Group in collaboration with the University of Debrecen

Being a bridge between Information Technology and Life Sciences, the Bioinformatics Research Group was established by the University of Debrecen and Astrid  to focus on R&D, innovation and educational activities. There are two main research interests of the group:

  1. Genomics bioinformatics: life science related, emphasizing the field of medicine and renewable energy; bioinformatics algorithms and the development of in silico tools; generation of databases, data-mining and biostatistics.
  2. Medical imaging and image processing: development of algorithms and procedures utilized in medical imaging and image processing, which support decision making in diagnostics.
