# Summer School on Simulation Approaches to Problems in Molecular and Cellular Biology

    31 August - 5 September 2009
    Miramar Palace, San Sebastian, Spain

    Organizers:
    Paolo Carloni - (SISSA and INFM DEMOCRITOS, Trieste, Italy),
    Ursula Rothlisberger - (EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland)
    Michele Parrinello - (ETH Zurich, Lugano, Switzerland)


    The School's main goal is to present recent developments and applications of biomolecular simulation approaches aimed at predicting structure, dynamics and energetics of biomolecules. Aspects of bioinformatics-based structural prediction algorithms will be also presented.

    Topics include:

    • Simulation of rare events
    • Prediction from first principles of spectroscopic and redox properties of biomolecules
    • Multi-scale and coarse grain modeling of large biomolecular aggregates
    • Protein and nucleic acid structure prediction
    • Critical analysis of the force fields used for biomolecular simulation
    • Molecular simulation of cellular events
    • Simulation in molecular medicine
