Marie Curie researcher Pedro Martin-Sanchez from Oslo Mycology Group (OMG) at the Evogene Section will present a talk entitled "Material-deteriorating fungi - from rock-art caves to your house"

Control theory has been successfully applied in engineering to build stable and reliably behaving devices. How can concepts developed in control engineering help us understand regulation in biological systems and how to develop reliable, integrated medical devices? In this workshop we will present and discuss some of the existing and novel concepts of control theory and how they can be applied in biotechnology and medical engineering.​

Computational approaches that can aid our understanding of cancer development are improving. Are we approaching the time when computer simulations could become a clinical tool in cancer treatment?
