SAVE THE DATE! The first ever SBGrid user summit 'Quo Vadis Structural
Biology?' will take place on May 5th and 6th 2008 in Boston, Massachusetts.
We will have a number of talks and workshops focused on structural biology
computing.
This two-day conference will include lectures and hands-on computing lab
sessions. Our speakers include Axel Brunger, Niko Grigorieff, James Chou,
Mark Gerstein, David E. Shaw, Joachim Frank, Frank Delaglio and others.
We have two tracks of hands-on workshops. The first track focuses on tools
and techniques for using structural biology software. The second track is of
a more general technical nature and focuses on building your own tools and
computing infrastructure to support your research needs.
The structural biology workshops will be lead by industry veterans including
Paul Emsley (low resolution model building), Ralf Grosse-Kunstleve (structure
determination with Phenix), Naomi Chayen (protein crystallization), Gael
MacGill (animation), Woody Sherman (in-silico screening) and
others.
The technical track includes workshops led by Harry Powell (computing and
programming with CCP4), David Gohara (introduction to Apple technologies for
scientists) and Ian Stokes-Rees (Python for scientists).
These are just a few of our hands-on workshops; please see the Quo Vadis
website for a complete listing. The computing workshops are limited to 24
participants so please register early.
