Mini-Symposium: Computational Biology in Human Aging and Disease

On February 18th a “Computational Biology in Human Aging and Disease” mini-symposium is organized by the section Molecular Epidemiology of the LUMC. The mini-symposium will cover computational approaches for discovering aging and disease related processes from multi-omics data. Several excellent speakers from the field of computational biology will present their latest work and insights.
