Institute for Biocomputation and
Physics of Complex Systems

Welcome to BIFI

The Institute for Biocomputation and Physics of Complex Systems (BIFI) is a research institute of the University of Zaragoza that promotes interdisciplinarity to face the big challenges of innovation and development.

BIFI consists of researchers from the University of Zaragoza and other Spanish and foreign universities. Our aim is to develop a competitive research in computation applied to physics of complex systems and biological systems.

In addition to the research in basic science, the promotion of technology transfer between university and industry is an essential goal for us.

For this purpose, BIFI has the input of researchers from different fields, whose collaboration is producing important synergies. In particular supercomputing experts, physicists working in materials science, quantum chemistry and complex networks, and biologists working in structural problems, like drug development and protein folding.

We have joined supercomputing European networks as EGEE-II and int.eu.grid, funded by the EU through the 6th Framework Program. Our European programs concern grid aplications development, namely to port nuclear fusion simulation codes in the framework of our collaboration with the National Fusion Laboratory (CIEMAT).

BIFI is funded by:
