BIOINFO

This is the Bioinformatics Laboratory (BIOINFO). This a research laboratory of the Graduate Program in Electrical Engineering and Industrial Informatics  (CPGEI) of the Federal Technological University of Paraná - UTFPR (formerly, CEFET-PR) at the Curitiba campus. This lab was founded and is coordinated by Prof. Heitor Silvério Lopes.

The main areas of research are: Bioinformatics, Evolutionary Computation and Reconfigurable Computing. 

The BIOINFO is located in block D, 3^rd. floor, room B309, telephone +55-41-310-4697
