Co-organized by Drs. Nevan Krogan and Ron Shamir, the Quantitative Biosciences Institute (QBI) at the University of California, San Francisco, the Edmond J. Safra Center for Bioinformatics at Tel Aviv University (TAU), and the Blavatnik Center for Drug Discovery at TAU present the inaugural 2019 QBI/UCSF-TAU Symposium in Computational Biology and Drug Discovery.

QBI seeks transformative results in biomedicine by supporting fundamental quantitative research in the biological sciences. ​The Edmond J. Safra Center for Bioinformatics promotes TAU as a leading force in the field of bioinformatics towards the development of novel drugs and biomedical technologies that will improve human health. The Blavatnik Center for Drug Discovery aims to turn excellent multidisciplinary science into therapeutics leads. The 2019 ​UCSF-TAU Workshop in Computational Biology and Drug Discovery ​aims to facilitate collaborative relationships between scientists from the participating institutions. Following the workshop, we hope to put in place a collaborative agreement between TAU and UCSF to enable scientists to work together through exchange programs and opportunities for collaborative funding.
