Biological networks seminar Sept. 10

Center News

The Program in Computational Biology and the Biostatistics, Modeling & Methods Group have organized a daylong symposium, "From Measurements to Modeling," Monday, Sept. 10 in Pelton Auditorium. The symposium presents an opportunity for biologists to become familiar with some of the latest tools and applications of systems biology. It will also feature presentations on new laboratory techniques needed to understand the behavior of cells.

The talks are open to all; registration is not necessary.
