The Bioinformatics Barcelona Association presents the Research Program on Biomedical Informatics

You're still in time to sign up for the third visit of the "Get BIB", focused on this occasion on the Research Program on Biomedical Informatics (GRIB), joint research programme of the Hospital del Mar Medical Research Institute (IMIM) and the Department of Experimental and Health Sciences of UPF.

The presentation will take place on Monday 12 December from 10:00 to 12:00h at Ramón y Cajal room of Barcelona Biomedical Research Park (Doctor Aiguader, 88, Barcelona), and since seating is limited, it needs your attendance confirmation by sending an email to comunicacio@bioinformaticsbarcelona.eu
