The Bologna Computational Biology Network connects at the Bologna University  research groups whose activities are focusing on developing tools for solving biomedical and biotechnological problems and research groups whose activity in different areas of modern biology is taking advantage of  computing and data base search.

Motivation: great expectations have been generated in different fields by the increasing role and impact of computer science in processing and analyzing terabytes of data. The aim of the network is pushing forward current boundaries between existing solutions and innovative ideas to fill the gap between what we know and what we understand.
