The cell contains a plethora of length and time scales: At present, the theoretical description and modeling of intracellular phenomena requires considerable intuition.
In the past few years, several methods have been developed to achieve a systematic multi-scale or integral approach to modeling cellular behavior. These methods range from fluctuation-based analysis of molecular dynamics simulations via reaction coordinates to specialized continuum solvers and coupled simulation techniques for membrane-bound organelles, soft interfaces, and protein condensates. So far, the application of these methods is severely limited by their availability and difficulty of use.
This workshop is intended to alleviate this situation by an exchange of methods across different research groups, focused on German-Czech collaboration. Invited speakers will not only share the description of their methods but also their implementation as well as a full hands-on tutorial enabling their use. Participants in the workshop will therefore not only get an overview but also the necessary tools and skills to perform state-of-the-art simulations of (sub)cellular phenomena. Moreover, participation is free of charge and even includes lunch.
Speakers include:
Jochen Hub (Saarland University)
Daniel Harries (Hebrew University)
Fabio Sterpone (CNRS Paris)
Christoph Allolio (Charles University/CASUS)
Stepan Timr (Czech Academy of Sciences)
Jaroslav Hron (Charles University)
