The Barcelona Collaboratorium for Modelling & Predictive Biology is a joint initiative by @crg.eu & @embl.org, exploring biology's frontiers with computational and theoretical modeling to make systems predictable & controllable.
Today’s talk was a visual feast and genuinely fascinating. Gratitude to Dr. @Tim Liebisch and Prof. Franziska Matthäus for closing on a high note.
