Computational Cell Biology workshop

2025-12-05T21:47:44+00:00 August 2nd, 2024|CCAM Events, News|

2024-07-22-24. VCell  and COPASI teams run 25th Annual Workshop on Computational Cell Biology. Nine students (one could not attend due to flights being cancelled) from Arkansas,  Connecticut, New York, Ohio, Texas and  Viginia worked with instructors for 3 days, developing their computational models. Thanks to NIH for the funding!
