A two day workshop will bring together modellers and experimentalists from A-STAR'S Bioinformatics Institute, the Department of Biological Sciences (NUS), Temasek Life Sciences Laboratory, Duke-NUS and the pharma/biotechnology sector to explore how best to synergise each other's investigations. The aim is to enhance cross-disciplinary collaborations to develop a more rigorous enquiry into biological questions
