High-throughput simulations: polymer science meets biophysics
Location: CECAM-DE-SMSM, MPI for Polymer Research, Staudinger lecture hall
Organisers
While the biophysics community has developed a comprehensive ecosystem of simulation tools and standardized workflows, the synthetic polymer field remains significantly underdeveloped in these areas. At the same time, methodological advances developed to speed up the simulation of glassy and out-of-equilibrium systems within the polymer community could have a meaningful impact in the arena of biomolecular simulations.
This workshop seeks to facilitate collaboration between these communities, enabling knowledge exchange towards developing more reproducible, polymer-focused simulation tools and protocols. The program will include a poster session and a dedicated 1-day school to train early-career researchers across a range of emerging software tools.
The registration fee for participants is €250, which includes catering during the event.
