The Graduate School of Biomedical Engineering is organising two master classes on May 11th and June 12th 2023. The classes are open to PhD students, researchers, engineers in academia and industrial sectors.
The programme focuses on Computational Systems Biology and Network Science in biology. It aims to introduce these topics through hands-on training.
Speaker
Karine AUDOUZE, Professor of systems biology and bioinformatics at Université Paris Cité. She works at the Inserm Unit 1124. In 2018, she founded the SysTox group, which aims at developing advanced computational tools and models by focusing on toxicology to better understand the effect of exposome on human health.
Programme
May 11, 2023 : Master Class - Practical Methods in Computational Systems Biology

[FIRE Call for applications] Meet our PhD students FIRE!
The Frontières de l’Innovation en Recherche et Éducation (FIRE) Doctoral School is an international and interdisciplinary PhD program accredited by the Université Paris Cité (UPCité) and co-accredited by the Université Paris Sciences et Lettres (PSL).
FIRE welcomes students who are passionate about contributing to Planetary Health and the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It hosts research projects that often fall outside the scope of traditional doctoral schools due to their unconventional and cross-disciplinary nature. We interviewed three of our PhD students, who shared their thesis topics, explained why they chose the FIRE doctoral school, and offered advice for the next cohort.
