MaCSBio Science Day 2018

The theme of this year’s meeting is 'the Bigger Picture'. We will focus on the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration in systems biology for education, research and knowledge transfer.

You are welcome to attend and participate in the scientific discussions in an informal setting. MaCSBio will present current and future research during this extraordinary day. Moreover, lectures will be given by invited prominent scientists on the latest developments in their respective areas of systems biology research.
