QLS & Medicine – Fall 2020 Lecture Videos
McGill’s Quantitative Life Sciences (QLS) PHD program, the Centre for Applied Mathematics in Bioscience and Medicine (CAMBAM), the McGill initiative in Computational Medicine (MiCM), and the Ludmer Center for Neuroinformatics & Mental Health have join forces to offer weekly interdisciplinary seminars. To see the weekly program, invited speakers and abstracts, click here.
Talks, with permission from the speaker, will be posted 1 week after the lecture. To view a recorded talk, click on the videos below. They are also viewable from the Ludmer YouTube Channel (select icon on the navigation bar).
Looking for a PHD Program, the deadline to apply for the QLS program is January 15, 2021.
