QCRG and Subgroups Town Hall

The evolving COVID-19 situation is prompting quick responses from within our local research community and labs. In order to keep UCSF researchers informed of changes to the research activities as well as current research related to COVID-19, the Quantitative Biosciences Institute (QBI) at UCSF is hosting the third QBI Coronavirus Research Group (QCRG) Subgroups Town Hall. QCRG aims to foster cross-communication between the significant COVID-19 research efforts occurring across campus in a broad spectrum of research areas. This Zoom-only town hall highlights the subgroups focusing on modeling and mechanism, genetics, bioinformatics and systems biology, and cardiac research.
