Online Direct Webcasting of the ICT-BIO 2008 Event

22 - 23 October 2008, Brussels, Belgium.
For those who could not join the ICT-BIO 2008 in Brussels can still benefit from the high level speakers' presence and discussions via the webcasting put in place. The conference will take place over 2 days. Each day will start with a plenary session featuring high-level policy speakers including EU Commissioners, prominent scientists and international funding agency representatives from the EU, US and beyond.

In the afternoon, parallel sessions will focus on themes incorporating ICT and life sciences such as multi-scale modelling in cancer research, heart and cardiovascular diseases, muscular-skeleton systems, and ageing.

In parallel, a workshop will take place on the 23-24 October at the same venue as ICT BIO 2008. It is co-sponsored by the European Commission and the NIH National Cancer Institute (NIH-NCI). Supported in part by NIH-NCI’s Center for the Development of a Virtual Tumor (CViT), the first transatlantic workshop on Multi-scale Cancer Modelling will focus on topics related to computational and mathematical cancer modelling. CViT is part of the Integrative Cancer Biology Program (ICBP) that seeks to develop research centres using both experimental systems and a computational biology approach to cancer research and to establish a community of integrative cancer biology.

All the sessions can be followed via the online direct webcasting:
