The Computational and Mathematical Biology (BCM) seminars
These fortnightly seminars are organized by the TIMC lab in Grenoble
External guests are very welcome to attend and to present their work
To receive the information about the seminar, subscribe to the mailing list
The seminars take place every other Thursday, at 14:00, in Pavillon Taillefer (usually room R31)
🆕 🍕September 2023: we have several external speakers on the schedule. To have more time to chat with them, we'll try to organize a pizza lunch before these seminars (in the cafeteria or outdoor behind Pavillon Taillefer, at 13:00). Pizza events will be announced on the mailing list.

Information for speakers:
- Open format (standard scientific presentation, journal club, methodological tutorial or demonstration...)
- Language: English
- Duration: 1 hour or less, including questions and discussion
- Very broad audience (all fields of computational biology) → talks must be accessible to non-specialists, avoid jargon, introduce well the [sub]field and the context
- Please send a title to the organizer a week before your talk
- We have a 16:9 projector with HDMI and VGA cables
