Seminars and Symposia

Center for Computational Biology Seminar Series

Considering the many advances in computational biology that have yet to come, it is pertinent for scientists in this discipline to connect with colleagues of similar research interests. To facilitate communication with fellow scientists, the Center for Computational Biology Seminar Series invites professors from national and international research institutions to talk about their current research.

2020 – 2021 Seminars – All Fall 2020 Seminars will be held remotely.

For access to the seminar, please email ccbadmin@berkeley.edu
