About the symposium 2021/2022
“The Brain in Numbers ” – May 12th, 2022
The theme of this year’s Qbio symposium is centered around one of the most fascinating organs of our bodies: the brain. During the symposium, talks about different topics in neuroscience will be held. The emphasis will be on interdisciplinary research between life sciences and natural sciences, often called quantitative biology (Qbio). The symposium will take place at different locations within the Victor J. Koningsbergergebouw (KBG).
