MaCSBio Science Day 2024 | Multi-scale modeling of biological systems
It is our pleasure to invite you to our MaCSBio Science Day 2024. The theme of this year’s science event is: Multi-scale modeling of biological systems.
Our programme contains exciting keynote lectures on the theme, Systems Biology master's students presenting their thesis work, MaCSBio staff presenting their latest research and poster sessions.
You are welcome to attend and participate in the scientific discussions of our annual Science Day. 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.
