Computational Genomics and Personalized Medicine
July 13 - July 19, 2014, Lipari Island
http://lipari.cs.unict.it/LipariSchool/Bio/index.php

Aim and scope: Computational Genomics and personalized medicine is the most
challenging research area in the modern era. Our main and special guest
lectures will address the scope focusing on algorithms,
computational models and biomedical results on this field. From the
enclosed bibliography it appears that the selected themes have received
much attention in the scholarly literature ranging from Nature and Science
to Bioinformatics Journals.
