The Institute for Computational Medicine and Institute for Clinical and Translational Research will be hosting a Symposium on September 24, 2012 to showcase the latest research in the field of Computational Medicine. Discussions will include the development of experimentally-based computer models that describe perturbed molecular networks, physiology and anatomy in disease, uses for these models to improve personalized therapies, and the forecasting of disease transmission. See below for time, location, and a full listing of speakers.
