Workshop “Trends in Computational Molecular Biophysics”
November 3-4, 2018
Memorial Museum of Cultural Exchange, Kanazawa
Organizers: Florence Tama (RIKEN and WPI-ITbM), Alexander Mikhailov (WPI-NanoLSI), Osamu Miyashita (RIKEN)
The aim of this workshop is to review current progress and future trends in the development of computational methods for analysis and interpretation of experimental data for biomolecules, including protein machines. The challenges brought by novel single-molecule experimental techniques, such as High-Speed AFM, shall be extensively discussed.

Application
The number of participants in this workshop is limited to 25 due to the size of the reserved conference room. Therefore, the workshop is mostly by invitation. However, a few external applications may be accepted too. If you are interested, please contact Dr. Holger Flechsig (WPI-NanoLSI) until September 15 and provide the following information: Name, affiliation, position, research interests. We will inform you about the acceptance before September 30.
