MiCM Symposium 2021
This one-day event consists of short presentations, panel discussions, workshops, working and breakout sessions to spark new ideas, collaboration and innovation within McGill.
This year, we first want to showcase some of the exciting scientific projects that have emerged from MiCM, then, use this opportunity to provide updates concerning related initiatives at McGill and engage the MiCM community to look for feedback and identify opportunities for synergies, and finally, we will discuss next steps to continue to grow the Computational Medicine ecosystem at the university.
