Subject: 23.07.17 <span class="fancysmall">Hands-On Workshop On Computational Biophysics in Auburn, AL</span><br />

<pre>Dear Colleagues,

The Theoretical and Computational Biophysics Group, NIH Resource for
Macromolecular Modeling and Bioinformatics (www.ks.uiuc.edu), is pleased to
announce the following training opportunity:

&quot;Hands-on&quot; Workshop on Computational Biophysics in Auburn, AL
<a href="https://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Training/Workshop/Auburn2023" target="_blank">https://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Training/Workshop/Auburn2023</a>
to be held July 17-21, 2023 at Auburn University in Auburn, Alabama.

This workshop will be presented by members of the NIH Resource for 
Macromolecular Modeling &amp; Bioinformatics at Urbana-Champaign. 
Topics will cover instruction in state-of-the-art molecular dynamics simulation 
and free energy techniques using NAMD, nanotechology simulation with ARBD 
and biomolecular visualization and analysis with VMD. 
Morning lecture presentations will introduce fundamental theory and concepts, 
while afternoon hands-on computer laboratory sessions will allow participants 
to apply NAMD, LM and VMD directly in a series of guided tutorials. 
The workshop is designed for all students and researchers in computational 
and/or biophysical fields who seek to extend their expertise to include biomolecular simulations. 
Experimentalists and non-specialists are encouraged to attend and will benefit particularly 
from instruction in the use of QwikMD, a new teaching software incorporating NAMD and VMD 
that significantly lowers the learning curve for novice users.

Applications to the workshop are due by June 1, 2023, for full
consideration. Selection and notification of participants from the
applicant pool is ongoing through June 7, 2023. Those selected to attend must
confirm participation. There is no registration fee, but participants
are responsible for the cost of housing, and the workshop can neither fund
nor arrange participant travel. All participants are required to bring
their own laptop for use in workshop tutorial sessions.
Due to space and equipment constraints, enrollment is limited to 35
participants.
