Since yesterday (12th September 2023) CBMC23 has taken place at Science Congress Center Munich, Garching, Germany. Sano Science is strongly represented by our researchers.

Eleven PhD students from Sano spent a week on a special training program organized by The University of Sheffield, a partner of Sano in the Teaming for Excellence program. Research exchange for PhD students is one of the objectives of the Teaming program, it aims at the active engagement of researchers in the international scientific and innovation community. The educational event for Sano students was organised by the University of Sheffield for the third time. The event took place from 4 to 8 September.

CBMC23 is a conference organized by the Centre of Excellence in Computational Biomedicine in Munich. CBMC23 addresses all aspects of the domain of computational biomedicine, from genome through organ to whole human and population levels, embracing data-driven, mechanistic modelling and simulation, machine learning and combinations thereof. Sano will be represented on the CBMC23 also with a wide range of computational topics. In total, eight abstracts produced by Sano scientists were accepted for the conference.

More than 20 people gathered on Friday evening to talk about future of medicine and healthcare and after 3 hours of discussion nobody wanted to leave! We think, it shows that the new format of networking and communication we presented on 19 of May, i.e., Coffee with Sano, is relevant to needs of many professionals from the field.

A research made by Sano scientists was among 58 (out of 280) papers accepted for the 23rd International Symposium on Cluster, Cloud and Internet Computing (CCGrid 2023). We are very proud of this success as CCGrid is a leading forum on the distributed systems topics. The Symposium took place in India, Bangalore, 1-4 May.
