CUHKSZ Conference on Computational Biology and Bioinformatics

The Conference on Computational Biology and Bioinformatics, sponsored by the Warshel Institute for Computational Biology and the School of Science and Engineering at CUHKSZ, will be held on April 19, 2018. This conference will reflect the state of the art in computational biology and bioinformatics by getting together a group of leading scientists, whose expertise encompasses seminal themes, including multi-scale molecular simulations, enzyme catalysis, synthetic biology, drug design, integrated genomics and proteomics, structural biology and evolution, establishment of biological information database, and next generation high-throughput sequence analysis.
