CompBioMed and OpenMultiMed are holding a Joint Session at the EPMA 2017 (The European Association for Predictive, Preventative & Personalised Medicine) World Congress in Malta. This will involve a mix of speakers from OpenMultiMed and CompBioMed. Open Multiscale Systems Medicine (OpenMultiMed) is a European Commission funded e-COST Action, the overarching aim of which is to gather a critical mass of international researchers and coordinate them as a team that develops and evaluates a transdisciplinary framework for multiscale systems medicine, consisting of novel concepts, methodologies and technologies.
Agenda:
08:30 Coffee & Networking
09:00 Introduction to the joint session by Harald Schmidt (OpenMultiMed) & Peter V Coveney (CompBioMed)
Session 1: Chaired by Derek Groen
09:10 Jane Zheng (OpenMultiMed, University of Ulster): Towards multi scale computing in systems medicine
