SysCODE : News & Publications

Overview

There are many ways to tell the story about the cutting-edge science and exciting experiments done at the Consortium. Communication about the progress in research on all fronts is an essential part of our execution plan. This gallery of pictures provides a snapshot from our annual events, each filled with research reviews, workshops, heated discussions about experiments and results from five teams: Developmental Biology, Bioengineering, Computational Science, Technology Development and Interdisciplinary Training. These meetings spark new ideas and help designing experiments aligned with overall SysCODE goals. The Consortium-wide meetings and Retreats take place twice a year at the Harvard Medical School New Research Building, Boston, Massachusetts.
