After the finalization of the Course-workshop of Bioinformatical Tools for the Analysis of Bacterial Genomes in Ecology and Epidemiology, imparted at the Training Room of the Technological Innovation Park (PIT, Parque de Innovación Tecnológica) of the Autonomous University of Sinaloa (UAS, Universidad Autónoma de Sinaloa), attendees, organizers and instructors of the seminar had the opportunity of making a tour of the PIT-UAS’ facilities, on Saturday 5th of December.

The group of professionals belonging areas such as health, biology and informatics knew about the Park’s functions, the diverse activities carried out in the distinct laboratories and spaces of this scientific innovation center, among which is located the Bioinformatics and Geomatics Laboratory, space on charge of PhD Inés Fernando Vega López, where professionals interested on developing related projects may approach, in order to work with the Park’s researchers which knowledge has been complemented by the understandings acquired during this course-workshop.

In this sense, it should be pointed out that with the conformation of an interdisciplinary expert group on bioinformatics, stimulating the linkage of academic and industrial sectors, it will be possible to establish a unit of bioinformatical analysis in the state, which labour would set Sinaloa in the forefront of the analysis of highly relevant data for science’s, technology’s and innovation’s development worldwide.
