From nir from rosettadesigngroup.com Tue Jan 27 08:00:03 2009 From: nir from rosettadesigngroup.com (Nir London) Date: Tue Jan 27 12:43:44 2009 Subject: [Molecular-modelling] Rosetta Academic Training Workshop Message-ID: Due to public demand, “Rosetta Design Group” is organizing a “Rosetta” software training workshop, aimed for academic groups. The format of the workshop will be a “webinar” - a web seminar, enabling more groups to attend while avoiding the annoying jet lag and accommodation troubles. Would you be interested in participating? If so please fill the form located at: http://rosettadesigngroup.com/blog/rosetta-academic-workshop/ and we will contact you when the details are finalized.* Nir London | Rosetta Design Group http://rosettadesigngroup.com/ * If you’re not from an academic group, don’t worry, write us anyway… -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

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 participants will be able to set up and run simulations. Applications to the workshop are due by May 3, 2009. Selection and notification of participants from the application pool will be completed by May 13, 2009. Those selected to attend must register and pay a workshop fee by May 23, 2009. The base registration fee is $200 for students, $300 for non-student academics, and $400 for all other applicants. Double-occupancy housing and all course materials are included in the fee. All participants are required to bring their own laptop for use in workshop tutorial sessions. The workshop can neither fund nor arrange participant travel. Due to space and equipment constraints, each workshop is limited to 20 participants.
