This two-day conference will provide an insight into existing and future prospects of the computer modellling and simulation in medicine and biology.
Major diseases are complex in nature involving environmental, life style, ageing and genetic components. One of the future challenges is to integrate the knowledge of all these different components into computer models and "in silico" environments that will help the development and testing of new therapies for better prediction and prevention tools in healthcare.
An integrative research approach is therefore required to better understand the complex mechanisms behind human diseases.
