Outstanding experts in bioinformatics, systems biology and regulatory genomics from around the world will meet from 14 to 19 October at IDIBELL to discuss the latest developments in these fields.

The conferences DREAM (short for Dialogue for Reverse Engineering Assessments and Methods) and RECOMB (Research in Computational Molecular Biology), which has been added IDIBELL Conference on Bioinformatics RICCI (Research, Computational Biology and Cancer Informatics), will take place at the Hotel Hesperia in L’Hospitalet de Llobregat.

The sessions are an opportunity to learn about the latest findings in molecular genetics, cell biology, regulatory genomics and systems biology and to establish new collaborations towards a better understanding of the fundamentals of life and the processes that lead to the emergence of diseases, especially cancer.

These symposia have the participation of top international experts.
