2nd Barcelona Virtual Physiological Human Summer School, May 22-26

The Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF) and the Virtual Physiological Human Institute (VPHI) are pleased to announce the 2nd Barcelona VPH Summer School. The summer school is supported by the Marie Sklodowska-Curie ITN Cardiofuxion and officially endorsed by the European society of Biomechanics (ESB). It is intended for young (mainly technical) researchers in the field of computational modelling in biomedicine, for basic research and clinical applications. This years topic will be 'Flow Phenomena in Biomedicine’. 

When? May 22nd-26th, 2017. Barcelona
