Workshop on Computational Modelling
Techniques in Structural Biology
02–03 August 2017
Molecular Biophysics Unit,
Indian Institute of Science,
Bengaluru
Organized by

Sponsored by
Indian Academy of Sciences, Bengaluru
Deciphering the detailed structure of biological molecules, and their structure–function relationship is
today a major focus of research across the world. The advent of in-silico techniques has paved the
way for rapid and accurate analysis of biological structures. The workshop aims to introduce various
aspects of computational modelling techniques (including homology, integrative/hybrid modelling and
coarse graining) in structural biology and provide hands on sessions with computational tools such as
MODELLER and IMP. Participants will also be trained in simulations (coarse grained) and fitting
structures to Electron Microscopy maps.
This workshop is an excellent opportunity for young researchers of various educational/research
institutions in the country to interact and learn crucial computational modelling techniques and
applications from some of the experts in the field. The speakers include: Andrej Sali (UCSF, USA –
who created MODELLER), N. Srinivasan and Anand Srivastava (IISc, Bengaluru), and M. S.
Madhusudhan (IISER, Pune).
Applications are invited from Ph D students working in the area of Bioinformatics/Structural Biology to
participate in the workshop. Outstation participants will be reimbursed the round trip train (2 tier AC)
fare by the shortest route and boarding and lodging will be provided by the Indian Academy of
Sciences.
