In this paper, we present what we believe to be the first GPU-based implementation (using CUDA) for solving the gene regulatory network model inference problem. Our im-plementation uses differential evolution as its search engine, and adopts a power law system of differential equations (an S-System) for modelling the dynamics of the gene regulatory networks of our interest. Our preliminary results indicate that the use of GPUs produces an important reduction in the computational times required to solve this costly opti-mization problem. This could bring important benefits in Bioinformatics because of the many practical applications that the solution of this problem has
