Abstract


Multidisciplinarity is increasingly present in Science. The huge amount of available data as well their complexity have been demanding a large deal of effort from different areas for the understanding and resolution of problems. On the other hand, the interaction between people with different disciplinary education - alone - is a defying field. This paper describes the roles of the researchers in Brazilian post-graduate programs on Bioinformatics - an essentially multidisciplinary area - characterizing their interesting areas and collaboration networks.
