RECOMB-CCB

Dates: 19-20 April, 2018

RECOMB-Computational Cancer Biology (CCB) focuses on applying statistical, mathematical, and algorithmic approaches to improve our understanding of cancer and on the development of useful, effective and efficient new methods in this area.

This year, RECOMB-CCB is going to precede the main RECOMB conference.

Special interest topics

  • Genomics, transcriptomics and epigenetics
  • Immunotherapy and other translational applications
  • Imaging
  • Functional and systems biology
  • Single cell approaches
