BCATS Symposium
Now in its fifth year, the Biomedical Computation at Stanford symposium provides an open, interdisciplinary forum for Stanford
students and post-docs to share their latest work in computational biology and medicine with others from Stanford and beyond.
BCATS was originally organized to bring together and integrate the diverse work done across Stanford in all fields related
to biomedical computation; after five years, BCATS has become an important part of the Stanford biomedical computation community.
