"Advances in Molecular Dynamics of Biomolecules" December 3-4, 2013 @ JNU

Mon, 23 Sep 2013 10:20:10 -0500

The extensive growth of computational power and resources over the last two decades has led to a remarkable progress in the large scale simulations at the molecular level. Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations have been an invaluable tool in elucidating the structural, physico-chemical and dynamic properties of various types of materials both in biology and material science, complementing experimental information. With the state-of -the –art computers, it is currently possible to simulate systems containing several thousands of atoms ranging from hundreds of nanoseconds to microseconds and milliseconds! Since simulation algorithms combine domain knowledge from various disciplines of basic science and computer programming, training manpower in such interdisciplinary fields may be hardly achieved within the boundaries of a prescribed academic curriculum. Thus it is of interest of the academic institutions to conduct regular workshops to advance the existing knowledge in the emerging research areas like Molecular Dynamics of biomolecules.

The objective of this conference is two-fold:

Understanding different algorithms of MD and their relevant applications.
Hands-on practical exercises using NAMD.

Nieduszynski Group

Complete, accurate replication of the genome is essential for life. All chromosomes in eukaryotic cells must be duplicated and then segregated to daughter cells to ensure genetic integrity and produce the large number of cells that make up a multicellular organism. We are using genetic, genomic and computational methods to understand how chromosome replication is regulated to ensure genome stability. By focusing on the basic biology that underpins cell growth and division we aim to provide new insights that may help our understanding of diseases such as cancer and congenital disorders.

Exchange Programme for Indian scientist !!

Shruti Paniwala — Wed, 18 Dec 2019 21:11:22 -0600

The Indian National Science Academy (INSA) is a premier scientific learned body (established in 1935) representing all branches of science –Physical and Biological Sciences including Engineering, Medicine and Agricultural Sciences. The Academy has been promoting scientific cooperation with Academies/Organisations of several countries the world over. The Academy has links with the Academies and Organisations in Asia, Europe
and South America. These programmes provide opportunities to scientists working in various scientific institutions and organizations in the country for exchange of ideas, knowledge, establish new links, strengthen old links and undertake joint projects with their research partners in leading laboratories and institutions abroad.

The Academy has an International Exchange Programme with Academies/Organizations in the countries: Brazil, China, France, Hungary, Iran, Israel, Nepal, Philippines, Poland, Scotland, Slovak Republic, Republic of Slovenia, Sudan and Taiwan.

Applications are invited from Indian Nationals for consideration by the Academy for the next calendar year.

The applicant should be a scientist holding a regular (permanent) position in a recognized S & T Institution/University and actively engaged in research work in frontline areas.
He/She should not have been abroad during the last 3 years under any INSA Programme.
The scientist should have been accepted to work in an Institute/Laboratory in the country to be visited and this should be supported by a letter of invitation from the host abroad.
Those who wish to visit abroad for three months should submit a detailed programme of their collaborative research work to be conducted.

All applications duly completed should be forwarded to the academy through proper channel by the employer/head of the Institute.

Scientists selected for deputation abroad would be provided 100% travel support (by only Air India excursion class airfare, through shortest route from the place of duty in India to the nearest airport of host Institute and back) by INSA.
Medical Insurance purchased in India.
Visa fee (if any).
The receiving Academy/Organization would provide local hospitality including internal travel abroad.

Japanese Multi Omics Reference Panel, jMorp

Rahul Agarwal — Fri, 22 Dec 2017 20:18:37 -0600

Japanese Multi Omics Reference Panel, jMorp, is a database of metabolome and proteome data in plasma obtained from volunteers in ToMMo. Metabolome data were measured by proton NMR and LC-MS, and proteome data were obtained by nanoLC-MS. We could measure several thousands of metabolites including the uncharacterized ones, and several hundreds of proteins until now.

ZENBU: a collaborative, omics data integration and interactive visualization system

BioJoker — Fri, 04 Jan 2019 13:35:26 -0600

ZENBU is a data integration, data analysis, and visualization system enhanced for RNAseq, ChipSeq, CAGE and other types of next-generation-sequence-tag (NGS) based data. ZENBU allows for novel data exploration through "on-demand" data processing and interactive linked-visualizations and is able to make many-views from the same primary sequence alignment data which users can uploaded from BAM, BED, GFF and tab-text files.
Please check our documentation wiki for details on how to use the system, or check out some of the views above.

How far can bioinformatics go creating organisms used for testing?

Fri, 17 Oct 2014 02:08:16 -0500

"I think you can get very far on a technical level. The problem is that a human body is more complex than just one cell." ... "At some point we still need clinical tests on animals and humans before we use it for real treatment. But we will likely be able to remove 99 % of animal tests in the future." Erik Lindahl, Professor of Theoretical and Computational Biophysics at KTH Royal Institute of Technology is telling us about his work. From the episode "Science for life – mapping the building blocks of the human body". Watch the rest of the talk, and other talks at www.crosstalks.tv Crosstalks is an academic talkshow produced by KTH Royal Institute of Technology and Stockholm University.
