Database Research and Development Group

The Database Research and Development Group Conduct research and development on the database-related challenges.

The Database Research and Development Group is headed by Weimin Zhu.

Biomolecular databases are becoming increasingly large, complex and interconnected. This increase of data scale, complexity and the need of interoperability means that there are many fundamental challenges in the database development, deployment and distribution. The group will be leading the EBI's research into database technologies, looking both at solutions from other fields with similar datasets and examining new, cutting edge technologies from database research.
