Fantastic kick-off meeting of the CONTRA ITN

Last week we had in Bertinoro (Italy) the kick-off meeting of the CONTRA Marie Curie Innovative Training Network on Computational Oncology.  The list of speakers was extremely good, but the actual talks (in a beautiful church) even better. An unbeatable training for our students.
