%%i%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% WINTER SCHOOL ALGORITHMS IN STRUCTURAL BIOINFORMATICS : MODELING LARGE MACROMOLECULAR ASSEMBLIES

8-12 DECEMBER 2014, INRIA SOPHIA ANTIPOLIS, FRANCE http://algosb2014.inria.fr/ %%i%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

We are pleased to announce a one-week school on Algorithms in Structural Bioinformatics. The aim is to introduce advanced methods in this domain, giving special attention to interdisciplinary approaches. The main focus will be on methodological developments meant to analyze and model large macromolecular assemblies, as well as on the corresponding software. The following topics will be taught (details of the lectures at http://algosb2014.inria.fr/lectures.html):

I. Modeling of Dynamic Biomolecular Assemblies Gerhard Hummer, Max Plack Institut fur Biophysik / Theoretical Biophysics

II. Small Angle X-ray Scattering from Macromolecular Solutions Dmitri Svergun, European Molecular Biology Laboratory, Hamburg

III. Computational Modeling of large Multimolecular Assemblies based on Multi-resolution Experimental Data Haim Wolfson, Tel Aviv University

IV. Integrative Approaches to Macromolecular Modeling Riccardo Pellarin, UCSF

V. Modeling Contacts in Macromolecular assemblies: from Inference to Assessment Frederic Cazals, Algorithms-Biology-Structure, Inria Sophia Antipolis

Each day's morning session will consist of a lecture, and the afternoon session will be devoted to a hands-on computer lab on the participants' laptops.

INTENDED AUDIENCE. The school is primarily intended for thirty PhD students and postdoctoral researchers. A number of slots are also available for young researchers from academia or industry.

DEADLINE FOR APPLICATIONS. A one-page application (pdf format) should be sent by email to algosb-coordinators@inria.fr with Subject "AlgoSB application", by September 20th, 2014.

The application should provide a mini-vitae or a pointer to the full vitae, a brief presentation of the applicant's research interests, and a few lines commenting on expected synergy between his or her research and the courses that will be taught.

Notification of acceptance will be provided by September 30th. It is expected that all accepted students will participate in the entire school period.

VENUE AND PARTICIPATION FEES. The Algorithmics in Structural Bioinformatics school will take place on the French Riviera, at Inria Sophia Antipolis - Méditerranée.

The participation fees will be of 400 euros, which includes lunches, coffee breaks, and social events.

The organizers : Frédéric Cazals, INRIA Sophia Antipolis - Méditerranée Juan Cortés, LAAS-CNRS, Toulouse Charles Robert, LBT-CNRS / IBPC, France
