Molecular Dynamics Today - Current challenges and future perspectives for numerical simulations in the Life Sciences - 14 - 15 March 2019, Bologna https://sites.google.com/view/md2dmeeting2019/ These are exciting times for Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations. Thanks to advances in force field development, sampling methods, and hardware performances, MD is gaining growing consideration in the Life Science community. For the first time since its inception, MD is becoming an effective tool to assist experiments and make quantitative predictions. This progress in the field is prompting a full integration of MD simulations in drug discovery programs in both academia and industry. Several challenges need now to be addressed to complete this transition, including the development of reliable force fields for all the molecular entities found in biological environments, more realistic simulative conditions (including multiscale approaches), and rigorous assessment of errors and uncertainties associated to limitations of sampling. The aim of this workshop is to gather together a diverse audience, promoting an international exchange of knowledge in a highly stimulating scientific context and friendly atmosphere.NOTE THAT E-MAIL ADDRESSES HAVE BEEN MODIFIED!!!
