North Carolina Supercomputing Center

Course Title: Computational Molecular Biology and Macromolecular Modeling

Course Description

• Carolina Workshops (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill), and North Carolina Supercomputing Center are presenting a workshop on Computational Molecular Biology and Macromolecular Modeling, October 22-27, 1995.

  CAROLINA WORKSHOPS are intensive hands-on courses designed to teach cutting edge methods in molecular biology and biotechnology. Four or five courses on different topics in molecular biology and/or biotechnology are offered each year. The courses are designed for novice students as well as for individuals with prior experience. All students benefit from in-depth interaction with instructors.

• The topics to be covered include:
  • biomolecular informatics and computer networks,
  • protein and nucleic acid databases,
  • protein and nucleic acid sequence analysis and alignment,
  • 3D protein structure analysis and prediction,
  • molecular modeling and dynamic simulations of proteins and nucleic acids, and
  • structure-based drug design.

• The workshop will consist of the in-depth theoretical lectures and intensive hands-on laboratory sessions. The course will be taught at the training facility of the North Carolina Supercomputing Center, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina.

• To apply, send a curriculum vitae and a brief letter describing your research interests and their relevance to the Workshop. Applicants should contact the program office as soon as possible. Please indicate your complete mailing address and telephone/fax number.
