=="Quantitative Laws of Genome Evolution" Workshop (Como, Italy) -- June 27-July 5, 2013==
=="PoLS Conference" -- Maryland, July 2015==
Lake Como School of Advanced Studies in Complex Systems (Villa del Grumello, Como, Italy) will be hosting a workshop discussing "Quantitative Laws of Genome Evolution". <br>
'''Registrations will open in February 2013'''<br>
Scholarships will be available on a selection basis<br>
Contact: ev.genome.workshop@gmail.com<br>
<br>
Quantitative approaches to evolutionary genomics, systems biology, and ecology unravel several
universal regularities connecting genome-scale observables, phenotypes and physiological traits. Putting
aside any irrealistic ambitions of a all-inclusive theories, some of these universal empirical trends might
qualify as “biological laws” in a similar sense as “law” is understood in modern physics. Consequently, a
current challenge for theoreticians is understanding how different universal features emerging empirically
can be accounted for by simple mathematical models exploring quantitative laws at different levels, from
physiology to evolutionary genomics.<br>
The scope of this workshop is to give an overview of the current state of the field and put a researcher in
the condition of performing research at the edge of the current knowledge.  The workshop will primarily
target PhD students and postdocs with a physics or mathematics background, but the school is open to
anyone with background in (evolutionary) genomics, (evolutionary) biology, bioinformatics, ecology,
interested in quantitative work.<br>

==2013 Physics of Living Systems Summer School -- June 15-20, 2013 (Champaign, IL)==
More information on this conference will be posted soon.
On behalf of the Center for the Physics of Living Cells (CPLC), an NSF Physics Frontier Center at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, we are writing to announce the 2013 Physics of Living Cells Summer School being offered from July 15 – 20, 2013 at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.  This one-week program is designed for graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and researchers in the chemical and life sciences, biophysics, physics, and engineering who would like to expand their training into the areas of single-molecule and live-cell experimental and computational biophysics. <br>

==" "Hands-on" Workshop on Computational Biophysics" -- Atlanta, GA, November 3-7, 2014==
 
Join fellow scientists at this "Hands-on" workshop in Computational Biophysics!  This workshop will explore physical models and computational approaches used for the simulation of biological systems and the investigation of their function at an atomic level. Topics covered include: using VMD and NAMD, applications of VMD and NAMD in modern research, force fields and parameterizing new molecules, simulating membrane proteins and ion channels, free energy calculations, and the use of Molecular Dynamics Flexible Fitting (MDFF) for modeling biomolecular structures based on cryo-EM density maps. Lectures in the morning will by followed by hands-on tutorials.
 
This will be in the IBB - Suddath room
