The SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics is an academic not-for-profit foundation dedicated to biological and biomedical data science which federates bioinformatics activities throughout Switzerland.

The institute was established on 30 March 1998 and its mission is to provide core bioinformatics resources to the national and international life sciences research community in fields such as genomics, proteomics and systems biology, as well as to lead and coordinate the field of bioinformatics in Switzerland. It promotes research, develops open databanks and software tools, is involved in teaching and service activities and in the coordination of national and international life science infrastructure projects.

It is partly funded by the Swiss government as a research infrastructure of national importance under the Federal Act on the Promotion of Research and Innovation (RIPA).
