Computational Methods for Modelling & Precision Medicine in Neurodegeneration
Free Workshop (registration required)
Monday, 4 Nov. 2019 @ 8:30-17:30

Location: Jeanne Timmins Amphitheatre @ The Neuro, 3801 University St, Montréal, QC, H3A 2B4 - Wheelchair accessible.

Learn about state-of-the-art work in Computational approaches to Precision Medicine. Talks include a  focus on multi-omics, multi-modal brain imaging, electrophysiology and cognitive/clinical modelling to track disease evolution and heterogeneity.

Who: Open to university faculty, students and staff and business professionals, in Montreal and beyond, working in related area.

Program & Registration (required) @ http://LudmerCentre.ca/events

The workshop includes eight 35-minute talks, each followed by a 15-minute Q&A . Check the Ludmer Centre event page<http://ludmercentre.ca/events/computational-methods-for-modelling-precision-medicine/> in mid-October for the final program (downloadable PDF).
