Barcelona VPH Summer School 2016, May 30th - June 3rd, 2016

Dept. Information and Communication Technologies, Universitat Pompeu Fabra – Virtual Physiological Human Institute

Information and registration: http://bcnvph.org

This Summer School provides a thorough overview and hands-on experience in state-of-the-art Virtual Physiological Human (VPH) research. The key concepts of this methodological and technological framework will be presented using illustrative cases and enriched with hands-on analysis under supervision of the experts.

The Summer School is jointly organised by the Philips - UPF CardioFunXion Marie Curie European Industrial Doctorate Program and The Virtual Physiological Human Institute, and the support of the Spanish Network of Excellence in Biomechanics.
