GRC: Protein Folding and Dynamics in Ventura, CA January 7-8, 2012

戈登蛋白质折叠动力学研究会议(GRC)和随之而来的蛋白质折叠动力学研究生研究研讨会(GRS)将于1月7日至8日(GRS)和1月8日至13日(GRC)在加利福尼亚州文图拉万豪海滩举行。这次会议的主要目的是讨论蛋白质折叠，以及利用聚合物物理中的能量景观观点和概念来描述蛋白质如何折叠的框架的发展。蛋白质折叠动力学研究生研究研讨会是作为蛋白质折叠动力学GRC的卫星组织的。这个工作坊为研究生和博士后科学家提供了一个场所，让他们i)发展当前技术、理论和模型的背景，为蛋白质折叠动力学GRC做准备，ii)分享他们关于蛋白质折叠方法和技术的知识，iii)彼此见面并讨论他们自己的研究。研讨会的大部分时间将用于研究演示文稿和海报。所有课程将由GRS招收的学生和博士后主持。年轻研究人员的大力参与将对下一代生物物理学家具有很高的价值。这次会议由物理部和生物科学局的分子和细胞生物科学部共同资助。

The Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Protein Folding Dynamics and the accompanying Graduate Research Seminar (GRS) on Protein Folding Dynamics will take place at the Ventura Beach Marriott, Ventura, California from January 7-8 (GRS)and January 8-13 (GRC). The main goal of the conference is to discuss Protein folding and the development of a framework to describe how proteins fold using the energy landscape perspective and concepts in polymer physics. The Graduate Research Seminar in Protein Folding Dynamics is organized as a satellite to the GRC in Protein Folding Dynamics. This workshop serves as a venue for graduate students and postdoctoral scientists to i) develop background on current techniques, theories and models in preparation for the GRC in Protein Folding Dynamics, ii) share their knowledge of protein folding methodologies and techniques and iii) meet each other and discuss their own research. The bulk of the workshop will be devoted to research presentation and posters. All sessions will be chaired by the students and post-docs enrolled at the GRS. The strong participation of young researchers will be of high value for the next generation of biophysicists. The conference is co-funded by the Division of Physics and by the Molecular and Cellular Biosciences Division in the Directorate for Biological Sciences.
