Björn Grüning currently works at the Inst. of Computer Science, University of Freiburg and is leading the Freiburg Galaxy team.

Galaxy is an open source, web-based platform for data intensive biomedical research. It makes computational bioinformatics applications accessible to users lacking programming experience by enabling them to easily specify parameters for running tools and workflows. Galaxy provides access to a powerful analysis infrastructure through the web and allows for reproducible and transparent data analysis.

The Freiburg Galaxy Team offers a framework for scientists on e.g. NGS data analyses (RNA-seq, ChIP-seq, Exome-seq, MethylC-seq), genome annotation analyses for eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms (from gene prediction to functional description), Proteomics and Metabolomics analysis, and the ChemicalToolBoX for analysis of small compounds. Furthermore, Galaxy has a huge variety of data visualization tools. Galaxy contains more than 800 different single analysis tools and ready-to-use pipelines for different applications. After registration, all tools and the infrastructure for data analysis are freely available and can be used for the creation of your own workflows for your specific projects.
