Since computational and molecular biology are truly intertwined disciplines in translational research, this symposium is a joint effort of the Institute for Molecular Medicine Finland (FIMM) and Helsinki Institute for Information Technology (HIIT).
The main aims are to:
- familiarize the research groups from two institutes with one another and
- introduce doctoral students, particularly the new ones, to FIMM and HIIT. It is an ideal forum for getting to know each other better and starting to think about new inter-institutional collaborations.
