Event summary:

Elucidating the physical landscape of biomolecules requires cross-platform efforts. From transport mechanism of ion channels and transporters, to conformational dynamics of proteins, biophysicists have been employing multiple tools spanning different scales (e.g., cryo-EM, X-ray, NMR, fluorescent microscopy, MD simulations, molecular docking) to interrogate the molecules. How to find good computation techniques to provide further details or predict a problem? How to select the suitable methods to corroborate the computational findings? How to reach out for collaboration and work effectively with each other? Answering these questions would help build more high-quality collaborations and promote further scientific advance in the field.

​The symposium consists of four seminar-style presentations, each lasts for 20 minutes, as well as a panel discussion on how to collaborate between computational and experimental groups. The symposium mainly targets early-career scientists, such as graduate students and postdocs. It is also highly welcome for principal investigators and younger undergraduates to join us, sharing insights or questions in the panel discussion.

This event is organized by BPS members Shasha Feng, Lehigh University, US, and Shashank Pant, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, US.
