Virtual Seminar on Modeling Biocomplexity: Cancer Invasion and Progression
Idea
The currrent situation implies that most conferences and personal meetings had to be cancelled which triggers the need for new exchange formats. With the Virtual Seminar on Modeling Biocomplexity we try to offer an attractive format for speakers and audience in the quickly growing research field of modeling biocomplexity. Prominent speakers will share their latest research with a worldwide audience. We envisage contributions on innovative models but also new experimental data and questions that could motivate new modelling approaches. The seminar will enhance outreach and catalyse unknown ways of communication, cooperation and hopefully new solutions to burning problems in the life sciences.
The first seminar series is devoted to Cancer Invasion and Progression.
