Hands-on Workshop on Computational Biophysics
Workshop dates: June 10-14, 2013
Location: Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center, 300 South Craig Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15213
This workshop will be presented by members of the BTRC Center for Multiscale Modeling of Biological Systems from the University of Pittsburgh and the members of the Theoretical and Computational Biophysics Group (www.ks.uiuc.edu) from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. It will cover a wide range of physical models and computational approaches for the simulation of biological systems including ProDy, NAMD and VMD. [Read More]
Computational Methods for Spatially Realistic Microphysiological Simulations
Workshop Dates: Mon, May 20 - Wed, May 22, 2013
Location: Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center, 300 South Craig Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15213
This workshop is organized by the Center for Multiscale Modeling of Biological Systems and will cover theory and practice for the design and simulation of models focused on diffusion-reaction systems such as neurotransmission, signaling cascades, and other forms of biochemical networks. The lastest version of the MCell simulation environment (www.mcell.org) will be introduced, including new Monte Carlo methods for 3-D simulation of reactions in solution and on arbitrarily shaped biological surfaces.
