«« Bioinformatics »»
The deluge of genomic information has led to an urgent need for
computerized databases to manage and process this large amount of
data. This information must be combined so that researchers can study
how the diseases alter normal cellular activities. As a result, the
field of bioinformatics has evolved in order to analyze and construe
of all this data. How do firms and labs cope with this task and
benefit from this opportunity ?

7.30am Breakfast and Networking
