The Graduate School of Biomedical Engineering is organising two master classes on May 11th and June 12th 2023. The classes are open to PhD students, researchers, engineers in academia and industrial sectors.
The programme focuses on Computational Systems Biology and Network Science in biology. It aims to introduce these topics through hands-on training.
Speaker
Karine AUDOUZE, Professor of systems biology and bioinformatics at Université Paris Cité. She works at the Inserm Unit 1124. In 2018, she founded the SysTox group, which aims at developing advanced computational tools and models by focusing on toxicology to better understand the effect of exposome on human health.
Programme
May 11, 2023 : Master Class - Practical Methods in Computational Systems Biology
