The Lausanne campus now hosts a number of research groups with interest in biologically-oriented molecular modelling. The Lausanne Biomolecular Modelling Seminars (LBMS) are meant to bring together a small community of researchers with common interests and to foster opportunities for problem solving and new collaborations.
Program
Seminars are held on Wednesdays over the lunch break. Lecture halls are usually in the Amphimax building (see below), but it might change. Please check carefully the exact time and location for each seminar.
