The Biocomputing Unit (BCU) of the Centro Nacional de Biotecnologia CNB (National Center for Biotechnology) is an interdisciplinary team of people working on Computational and Structural Biology and Bioinformatics.

Started in 1989 and headed by Dr. Jose Maria Carazo, the BCU areas of activity are:

Biocomputing Research
The research team works in new computational and experimental methodologies to help to solve key problems in biology. Our approach is a combination of basic research in structural biology and basic and applied scientific computing research in molecular biology, organised around the following areas:
Biocomputing Service
The service team manages the computing services of the CNB and the spanish node of the European Molecular Biology Network (EMBnet). Services include both scientific computing and microcomputing.
