"Hands-On"
Workshop on Computational Biophysics

The workshop will
explore physical models and computational approaches used for the
simulation of biological systems and the investigation of their
function at an atomic level. The course will be based on case studies
including the properties of membranes and membrane proteins, mechanisms
of molecular motors, trafficking in the living cell through water and
ion channels, and signaling pathways. Relevant physical concepts,
mathematical techniques, and computational methods will be introduced,
including force fields and algorithms used in molecular modeling,
molecular dynamics simulations on parallel computers and steered
molecular dynamics simulations.
The workshop is designed for graduate students and postdoctoral
researchers in computational and/or biophysical fields who seek to
extend their research skills to include computational and theoretical
expertise, as well as other researchers interested in theoretical and
computational biophysics. Theory sessions in the morning will be
followed by hands-on computer labs in the afternoon in which students
will be able to set up and run simulations. Enrollment limited to 20
participants.
