Molecular BioMedicine, Medical Genomics and BioInformatics

2nd International School Of Advanced BioMedicine and BioInformatics
Pantelleria Island, June 18, June 25, 2005




The 2005 Course of the International School of Advanced BioMedicine and BioInformatics aims at presenting advanced research in the always more interwined fields of BioMedicine and BioInformatics, and to foster collaborations among Participants. Its main focus will be on the contributions of Genomics, BioInformatics and Biotechnology to Molecular Medicine. Invited Speakers will give seminars on the topics chosen as School themes and will organize the work of Students with the support of Tutors. The 2005 Course, which addresses PhD Students and junior Researchers who want to get exposed to the forefront of research activity in the field of Molecular BioMedicine, Medical Genomics and BioInformatics, will be held in the beautiful surroundings of the Island of Pantelleria.
