Technician. UEB belongs to the VHIR core-facilities, where it provides support to basic and clinical

researchers, mainly from the Campus Vall d’Hebron, in their research. This is done primarily through data

analysis services, participation in clinical trials and data management services, and bioinformatics data

analyses. The unit also offers advice and training on statistics and bioinformatics. The selected person will

be responsible of the development of appropriate advice and services in bioinformatics mainly related to data

derived from the Cytometry and Microscopy platforms at UAT-VHIR’s core-facility. More information about

UEB and UAT services can be found in the VHIR webpage.
