We are pleased to announce the 3rd WPI-PRIMe International Symposium, titled “Towards Patient Bio-Digital Twin.” This event is hosted by Osaka University and WPI-PRIMe.
The symposium will highlight advancements in dry-lab research, featuring sessions on biological modeling, bioinformatics, systems biology, and the emerging field of Bio-Digital Twin.
We are honored to welcome our keynote and invited speakers, Prof. Gary Bader from the University of Toronto and Prof. Edda Klipp from Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin.
The symposium agenda will emphasize an integrated approach to wet- and dry-lab research.
After the sessions, we have an exchange event for all participants with some refreshment. We invite you to join us at this symposium, contributing to the exchange of scientific ideas and initiating collaborations within the research community.
