Virtual workshop on November 5th, 2020 from 1.30-5.30 pm.
Scope of the 2020 Workshop: ‘bioinformatics and biomathematical approaches to integrate the GPCR signal’. Computational and mathematical approaches are nowadays compulsory in order to decipher the complexity of GPCR signalling networks. The workshop will focus on recent modelling and computational approaches and how they can be used to tackle GPCR complexity.
