DESCRIPTION:You can apply to participate and find all the relevant informa
 tion (speakers\, abstracts\, program\,...) on the event website: https://
 www.cecam.org/workshop-details/bridging-biomolecular-simulations-and-exper
 iments-across-time-and-length-scales-from-single-molecules-to-entire-organ
 elles-1493.\n\nRegistration is required to attend the full event\, take pa
 rt in the social activities and present a poster at the poster session (if
  any).  However\, the EPFL community is welcome to attend specific l
 ectures without registration if the topic is of interest to their research
 . Do not hesitate to contact the CECAM Event Manager if you have any que
 stion.\n\nDescription\n\nMolecular simulations are firmly established as a
  central tool in the life sciences over the last few decades. This is evid
 ent from the now-standard use of molecular dynamics simulations by molecul
 ar biologists and biophysicists\, and the remarkable success of AlphaFold\
 , which has convinced even the most skeptical of the critical role of thes
 e methods in contemporary biological research.\nHowever\, new challenges a
 re emerging. It is increasingly apparent that to understand biomolecular f
 unction\, we must move beyond studying isolated molecules. The focus is no
 w shifting towards examining large\, dynamic complexes of biomolecules wit
 hin their complex native environments\, complete with post-translational m
 odifications. Embracing this complexity is crucial for understanding how b
 iological functions and cellular structures emerge and adapt.\nThis worksh
 op will address existing and emerging frontiers\, discussing both current 
 challenges and the future of molecular simulations needed to meet them. It
  will gather simulation experts that have been actively developing methods
  that can increase simulation accuracy and extend their applicability rang
 e across multiple scales\, as well as experimentalists performing advanced
  studies that can address outstanding challenges occurring at computationa
 lly accessible time and length scales. A main aim will be to discuss how t
 o improve the accuracy of simulations\, integrate simulations and cutting-
 edge experiments\, and how to best take advantage of innovative enhanced s
 ampling and machine learning-based approaches.\nThe workshop will seize th
 e opportunity to celebrate the outstanding scientific achievements of Gerh
 ard Hummer\, a prominent leader in the field\, on his sixty’s birthday. 
 Many of the participants that have already expressed their intention to at
 tend and support the workshop or past or current theoretical and experimen
 tal scientist that have been either collaborators and co-authors\, mentore
 d by\, or inspired by Gerhard’s ideas and expertise.
