28 Septembre 2015 – Bordeaux hosts its first summer school of neuroepidemiology in the “omics” era
12 h PJJ, 35 place Pey Berland 33000 Bordeaux
This summer school entitled NEUREPIOMICS will focus on “Epidemiology of vascular and brain aging in cohorts with large scale imaging and omics data”.
From September 28th to October 2nd, 2015,this summer school will provide extensive training in cutting edge research methods in neuroepidemiology. A large part of the course is dedicated to cutting-edge brain imaging and novel “omics” tools and their application in epidemiology of vascular and brain aging. This course, also including practical workshops, will be taught by highly renowned international experts from across the world.
This summer school is mainly designed for post-doctoral fellows and more senior researchers who have an interest in moving into this field, as well as PhD students specializing in this domain.
The number of participants is limited to 40. For capacity reasons, the organizing committee will possibly close registration early if the maximum number of participants is reached.
