Data Analytics Facility

Services

We provide support for bioinformatics, research methodology, and data stewardship across the full research lifecycle. Our experts offer consultations, training, and practical guidance on study design, data analysis, data management, and FAIR data practices. For complex projects, support can expand into longer-term scientific collaborations and methodological innovation. You can access our expertise through the Research Support Desk or by contacting one of our specialist services directly.

Research Support Desk

Through the Research Support Desk, research can ask all research-related questions and be connected with the most appropriate expert, department or source of information.

This is a central entry point for support on methodology, data analysis, data management, and other research topics. We assist researchers with questions about research proposals, funding, data, regulations, and the conduct of research. We also provide guidance when the required support has not yet been identified.

Data Stewardship Support

We help researchers manage, store, share, and reuse research data responsibly throughout the research lifecycle. Our experts provide practical guidance on data management, FAIR data & software practices, and good research data practices.

This support is provided by Advanced Data Management.   

Bioinformatics Support

We help researchers work with large and complex biological datasets, such as DNA, RNA, or other sequencing data. Our experts can advise on how to process, analyse, and interpret these data. We support both routine and advanced analyses and can help select the most appropriate methods and software for your project. For complex projects, our involvement may extend to a longer-term scientific collaboration and the development of new analytical methods.

Research Methodology Support

We help researchers design, conduct, analyse, and evaluate research studies. Our experts provide advice on study design, statistical analyses, epidemiology, and health economic evaluations.

We can support you in choosing the right methods to answer your research question, determining how much data is needed, selecting appropriate analyses, and reviewing study protocols. We also advise on the design and evaluation of clinical and observational studies.
