First GDR BioComp workshop
Summary
The first workshop of the GDR BioComp took place in October, from 4th to 8th (2015) in the Saint Paul de Vence Belambra holiday center.
The workshop was the opportunity to give a state of the art of the different disciplines explored in the BioComp Research network, through several tutorial and overview talks. Thanks to the active participation of everybody, the poster sessions, workgroups and discussions were particularly lively. You will find below the program of the workshop, pictures and most of the slides that were presented
