Come to the fourth DCEXS Symposium on November the 17th: "Innovative in silico strategies in biomedical research"

We are pleased to announce the fourth DCEXS Symposium which will be held on Tuesday, November 17th 2015, at the Barcelona Biomedical Research Park (PRBB) AUDITORIUM.

Confirmed Speaker

• Alfonso Valencia - Spanish National Cancer Research Centre; "The mESC epigenetics network as an example of the combination of network and evolutionary analysis"
• Mihaela Zavolan - Biozentrum, University of Basel; "Exploiting single cell level heterogeneity to uncover in vivo hierarchies of miRNA targets"
