BioExcel CoE Newsletter #12

Dear reader,

We have prepared an exciting line up of events and webinars to help with your research work.

Webinars

This month we have two webinars coming. "Adaptive resolution methods in soft matter simulations" on 22nd Feb. will be of interest for those of you working on hybrid methods techniques, while the "CWLEXEC: A new open source tool to run CWL workflows on LSF" on the 28th Feb. is a continuation of our previous "Introduction to Common Workflow Language" webinar.

Summer school

In June 2018 BioExcel is hosting a week long Summer School on Biomolecular Simulations in Sardinia, Italy, full of lectures and hands-on sessions on
  • Molecular Dynamics simulations
  • Biomolecular Docking
  • QM/MM
  • Free energy calculations
  • Advanced sampling methods (metadynamics)
Places are limited, so if you are interested, make sure you apply before end of March! Accommodation, food and airport shuttle are included in the registration fee. The Summer School is also an excellent chance to get in touch with the lead BioExcel developers and have your say on future priorities. We are looking forward to seeing you in Sardinia!

News and events

Another great event that you might want to visit is the yearly meeting in Hünfeld on "Computer Simulation and Theory of Macromolecules". The meeting offers an informal and lively platform for discussions and establishment of future collaborations.

The GROMACS dev team released two important versions of your favorite MD code. The official 2018 release was out already in January, and last week we had the 2016.5 bug fix update. Please ask your admin to install the updates!

And if you are looking for an exciting post-doctoral opportunity, the HADDOCK developer team is looking for skilled researcher.

Webinar: Adaptive resolution methods in soft matter simulations (2018-02-22)

Webinar: Adaptive resolution methods in soft matter simulations (2018-02-22)
BioExcel’s webinar series continue with a special discussion on Adaptive resolution methods in soft matter simulations Register Abstract One of the most challenging aspects in the computational study of soft matter is its intrinsic multi-scale nature, that is, the fact that many relevant processes take place on a broad range of length and time scales. Their interplay often limit, …

Hünfeld 2018: Computer Simulation and Theory of Macromolecules

Hünfeld 2018: Computer Simulation and Theory of Macromolecules
The exponential increase of known protein structures and the wealth of experimental data on biomolecular dynamics and function particularly in the single molecule field creates a rapidly growing demand for computer simulation studies at the atomic level. This informal and interdisciplinary meeting for physicists, chemists, and biologists using and/or developing computer simulation techniques for the study of biological molecules aims …
