May 27: Modelling of the failing heart in a genotype-to-phenotype map context

Seminar: Modelling of the failing heart in a genotype-to-phenotype map context.
Time: Wednesday May 27, 2009, 12.00-16.00
Place: Meeting room, Institute for Experimental Medical Research, Ullevål University Hospital
Map: Building 7, fourth floor

In conjunction with a visit to Norway by two of the leading figures within the field of integrated multi-scale and multi-physics models of the heart, Peter Hunter and Nic Smith, we are pleased to invite all those interested to attend a half-day seminar at Ullevål Hospital in Oslo co-hosted by the Centre for Heart Failure Research and the Centre for Integrative Genetics. Registration is not required, and participation is free of charge.

Hosts: Centre for Heart Failure Research and Centre for Integrative Genetics.
