Subject: 07.03.26 Biological Diffusion and Brownian Dynamics Brainstorm, The Villa Bosch, Heidelberg, Germany
You are cordially invited to, The Biological Diffusion and Brownian Dynamics Brainstorm. The Villa Bosch, Heidelberg, Germany. 26th to 29th March 2007 The purpose of the meeting is to discuss the state of the art in Brownian Dynamics simulations of biological macromolecules and related technologies. The aim is bring together leaders in the field and younger scientists, to discuss informally how to push the boundaries of these technologies. Participants will include theoreticians and experimentalists. The meeting is spurred by recent advances in experimental methodology that characterize diffusive processes in vivo and in vitro, and data on processes such as macromolecular crowding. These provide new opportunities and challenges for the simulation of biological diffusion processes. The first day of the meeting will be devoted to introductory lectures on essential theoretical aspects and tutorials and demonstrations of simulation software. On the subsequent three days there will be talks about current research, discussions on critical issues, and poster sessions. Topics to be covered will include coarse-graining strategies, multiscale modeling, hydrodynamic interactions, hydrophobic interactions, experimental measurement of diffusional properties and the like. We encourage participants to give a talk, present a poster or a software demonstration. Further information and registration can be found on our website: http://projects.villa-bosch.de/mcm/BDBDB/ The deadline for registration and submitting abstracts is February 19, 2007. The BDBDB organizers look forward to welcoming you in Heidelberg.
