ICLS - Computational Life Sciences Day
Once again, our event will bring together leading experts in the field of digitalisation and AI as well as in the life sciences to discuss the latest developments and applications.
The symposium will focus specifically on how digitalisation and artificial intelligence are transforming the field of diagnostics. However, the topic will be addressed broadly and will also be of interest to people from related life sciences disciplines, including food sciences and environmental sciences.
We invite you to look beyond the horizon with us and identify developments that go beyond the current state of the art.
Expect inspiring keynote presentations, engaging discussions, and networking opportunities with renowned scientists, industry representatives, and professionals from related fields.
