September - Bioinformatics Symposium 2011¶
Event Details
Date/Time:
Friday, September 23rd, 2011 8h00 - 19h00
Location:
Location: Institut de recherches cliniques de Montréal (IRCM), 110, avenue des Pins Ouest
Once again, MonBUG will be hosting its biennal Bioinformatics Symposium at IRCM. The DevTeam is currently hard at work putting the conference together and we expect turnout to be as good as the 2009 edition which was a tremendous success.
The selected format will again be a one-day symposium featuring invited and local speakers as well as student speakers selected on the basis of the quality of their presented posters.
