Coffee – 11:00 – 11:15
Workshop 11:15 – 13:00
Lunch 13:00 – 15:30
Workshop 15:30 – 17:00
Scope of the workshop:
This five day workshop will introduce researchers in the field of molecular simulations to the broad collection of computational tools implemented in the AMBER and AmberTools software packages for molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. It will consist of a combination of lectures and hands on tutorials that provide comprehensive introduction to molecular dynamics and molecular simulation focusing on practical application of version 17 of the AMBER MD software. The workshop consists of a series of short lectures followed by hands-on lab sessions that cover the use of AMBER and AmberTools and the theory behind it. There will be opportunities for discussion with the tutors for advice with specific research problems.
Workshop Instructors:
-
- Professor Adrian Roitberg (Department of Chemistry, University of Florida, USA)
- Professor Tom Kurtzman (Lehman College, City University of New York and Ph.D. Programs in Chemistry &Biochemistry, The Graduate Center of the City University of New York)
- Professor Carlos Simmering (Laufer Center for Physical and Quantitative Biology, and Department of Chemistry. Stony Brook University)
Organization:
Dr. Fabian Glaser and Dr. Shira Sagee (Bioinformatics Knowledge Unit, The Lorry I. Lokey Interdisciplinary Center, Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, Israel)
Any questions may be directed to Dr. Fabian Glaser (fglaser@technion.ac.il) and not to the invited speakers/tutors.
