Billille: Bioinformatics, bioanalysis and biostatistics

Lille Platforms in Biology & Health – PLBS – UMS 2014 – US 41

Billille is part of the Joint Service Unit PLBS -UMS 2014 – US 41. Billille is also a member of the French Institute of Bioinformatics.

Its location is spread across three sites: Cité Scientifique, University Hospital campus and Pasteur Lille campus.

The platform possesses diverse and cross-cutting expertise. Its scientific scope notably covers:

The analysis of omics data (genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metagenomics, epigenetics, …)
Sequence annotation
Phylogeny
Systems biology
Structural bioinformatics
Integrative biology
High-content screening data analysis
Image data analysis

The platform's missions take several forms:

Support for scientific projects of user units
Development of analytics pipelines and databases
Training
Provision of high-performance computing resources
Science and technology animation

News

New technical co-direction of Bilille since January 1, 2021 with the recruitment of Pierre Pericard (Univ. of Lille) and Jimmy Vandel (CNRS).
The EquipEx+ MuDiS4LS project led by the French Institute of Bioinformatics (IFB) was selected on December 18, 2020. Billille, as a member platform of the IFB, is a partner in this project.

Cross-functional projects

Develop a framework to orchestrate the flow of biological data, from their source to their public dissemination via national or international repositories, while ensuring their security during the intermediate phases of analysis and exploitation.

Taking advantage of flagellin aerosol therapy as an immunomodulatory adjuvant to antibiotic treatment of drug-resistant bacterial pneumonia (JC Sirard, CIIL).
