Fourth DCEXS Symposium. Innovative in silico strategies in biomedical research

Programme Event local time

The symposium, organized by the Department of Experimental and Health Sciences (DCEXS) and the Research Programme on Biomedical Informatics-GRIB (IMIM-UPF), with the support of the Platform of Biomolecular and Bioinformatics Resources, Novartis and Bioinformatics Barcelona, will bring together leading researchers in the vibrant field of biomedical research, to explore new advances in in silico strategies. 

 The symposium is part of an initiative by the DCEXS to provide a forum for leading scientists working on topics included in the Department’s Research Programmes to present and discuss the latest results, to promote the education of young scientists, as well as catalysing scientific interactions between the DCEXS and other institutions.
