The Virginia Bioinformatics Institute at Virginia Tech is a bioinformatics, computational biology, and systems biology research facility that uses transdisciplinary approaches combining information technology, biology and medicine to interpret and apply vast amounts of biological data generated from basic research to some of today’s key challenges in the biomedical, environmental and agricultural sciences. VBI has more than 250 highly trained multidisciplinary, multinational personnel, including ovver 50 tenured and research faculty. Research at VBI involves collaboration in diverse disciplines such as mathematics, computer science, biology, plant pathology, biochemistry, systems biology, statistics, economics, synthetic biology and medicine. The institute develops -omic and bioinformatic tools and databases that can be applied to the study of human, animal and plant diseases as well as the discovery of new vaccine, drug and diagnostic targets. VBI’s transdisciplinary research programs are supported by a variety of government and private agencies including the National Institutes of Health, National Science Foundation, U.S. Department of Defense, U.S. Department of Agriculture, and U.S. Department of Energy. Since inception, VBI has received over $179 million in extramural support. VBI's executive director is Chris Barrett. == History ==
VBI opened in July 2000 in space at the Virginia Tech Corporate Research Center; it was hosted briefly in Building XI, then Building X, until it moved to Building XV in 2002, which was designed to host the institute.) In January 2005, VBI moved into its building on the main Virginia Tech’s campus, but retained its existing space in VTCRC's Building XV. In 2011 VBI moved its National Capital Region office into the Virginia Tech building in Arlington, Virginia. Since 2000, VBI has grown to encompass over 250 experts in information biology, three facilities, and a research portfolio totaling $68 million in grants and contracts. In 2015, VBI received the Governor of Virginia’s Outstanding Achievement in Bioscience Award in recognition of its ongoing contributions to regional growth and global scientific initiatives.〔(About VBI )〕
