Continuing the series of international collaborative events held in Chile, this event aims to foster discussion on new ideas in the fields of Systems Biology and Bioinformatics. Through the development of novel questions and tools, we hope to deepen the understanding of the metabolism of microbial communities from diverse environments.

Particular emphasis will be given to methods and communities studied in the context of the project “INRIA Associated Team: SymBioDiversity: Symbolic and numerical mining and exploration of functional biodiversity” and “SYSTEMIX: Systems Biology Center for the study of the extremophile communities from mining tailings”.

Venue:

Classroom E301, Building E, Rancagua Campus, Universidad de O’Higgins, Av. Libertador Bernardo O’Higgins 611, Rancagua.
