NIMSBinars
Webinar series about latest advances in the field of Precision Medicine
NIMSBinars are a virtual series of seminars hosted by NOVA Institute for Medical Systems Biology and the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine- Berlin .
These seminars represent an enlightening exploration into cutting-edge research and advancements in the field of medical systems biology. In this initiative, we have curated a line-up of distinguished speakers from the Lisbon area, who will delve into various aspects of biomedical research, covering topics such as new breakthrough technologies, including single-cell and spatial multi-omics, artificial intelligence, and patient-derived disease models (organoids and organ-on-a-chip).
NIMSBinars were launched on October 1st, 2024.
Join us through the series of talks that will showcase cutting-edge science in the field of Medical Systems Biology!
