The summer school, entitled “From data to biology and back”, will introduce major open questions in systems biology. It will address those questions through the use of state-of–the-art techniques for analyzing and modelling data sets, via hands-on projects.

The Summer School will welcome 25 students. Applicants should have some experience using Matlab and Python. Each student should bring a laptop.

Our workshop is aimed at students from engineering schools and Master’s in Physics, Mathematics and Computer Science interested in Biology.

The second CENTURI Scientific Day will take place on Friday, July 2, at the Hexagone’s auditorium.

This event aims to foster new interdisciplinary collaborations and projects within our community and at encouraging applications to CENTURI PhD and postdoc calls.
