We would like to announce, DYNAPEUTICS, an international summer school that will take place in San Sebastian, Spain from Sept. 25 to Sept. 30, 2016.
The aim of the school is to give a theoretical and practical introduction to computational methods for biological molecules, relevant for the understanding of biological processes at the molecular level, and specifically useful for the design and optimization of molecular drugs. The school will be taught at the postgraduate level and is addressed to PhD students and postdoctoral researchers with a solid background in biophysics.
The course will consist of several seminars and computer practicals and is part of a wider initiative "Passion For Knowledge" that will bring to San Sebastian leading scientist around the world to share their research experience, like Nobel Laureate Prof. Martin Karplus, who will also participate in this summer school. The participants, therefore, will also benefit from an outstanding atmosphere and social activities around the school.
The subjects covered in the school will be:
- force fields
- simulation methods overview
- Molecular Dynamics and Monte Carlo Methods
- Normal Mode Analysis
- accelerated dynamics
- Free energy Calculations
- continuum electrostatics
- homology modeling
- docking
- drug design
- Quantum Chemistry and QM/MM methods
Registration Fee: 150 euros (which includes refreshments, lunches and the conference dinner).
