Scottish Bioinformatics Forum
Set up in 2001 under the stewardship of Scottish Enterprise to establish Scotland as a globally recognised and leading location for conducting cutting edge bioinformatics research and sustainable commercial activity, the SBF operated and was nurtured under the auspices of The RSE Scotland Foundation between 2008 and 2011. Having matured as an initiative, gained acceptance and had significant interactions and impact across Scotland and further afield, the SBF's activities were merged in 2011 with those of Nexxus. Both organisations see such a merger as timely and highly beneficial to Scotland's life science network.
