Gert Vriend is a professor at Radboud University specializing in bioinformatics. His expertise includes the development and application of advanced computer programs for the management and analysis of biomolecular information. Over a short period, bioinformatics has grown to be an essential discipline for biologists, chemists, and doctors due to the vast quantities of interlinked data generated in these fields. Vriend developed the WHAT-IF program, a tool for analyzing protein structures, which is widely used in the bioinformatics community. He has built a strong research group in Nijmegen designated as the Centre for Molecular Biomolecular Informatics (CMBI) and has played a significant role in developing bioinformatics curricula. Vriend's CMBI is involved in national bioinformatics initiatives such as BioRange, a national research program, and BioTune, which focuses on bioinformatics education.
