The Computational Biology Club
The Computational Biology Club in Kidney Research is a dynamic and collaborative community dedicated to advancing our understanding of kidney-related diseases through computational approaches. We bring together individuals with a passion for both biology and computational science to explore the complexities of kidney health and disease. Our club organizes regular meetings, seminars, and workshops where members delve into cutting-edge research at the intersection of computational biology and nephrology. We actively engage in projects that leverage data analysis, genomics, and computational modeling to unravel the mysteries of kidney function and pathology. Whether you're a seasoned computational biologist or a kidney research enthusiast, our club offers a supportive environment to contribute to groundbreaking research and make a positive impact on kidney health. Join us in our mission to drive innovation and discovery in the field of kidney research through computational biology!
These seminars take place weekly and you are welcome to join in person at Smilow Center for Translational Research (12th floor). Please contact Dr. Susztak Lab for detailed information.
