EyeWire to be presented at the World Forum for Life Sciences

BIOVISION, The World Life Sciences Forum, organized since 1999 by an independent non-profit organization, la Fondation pour l’Université de Lyon, brings together international decision makers from the academic, private, policy-making and civil society sectors to foster a productive dialogue on life sciences discoveries and their impact on society; further, the forum aims to translate innovative ideas into actionable solutions for the benefit of citizens.
