Computational Aspects of Biomolecular NMR (GRS)

Gordon Research Seminar

Biomolecules in Action

June 17 - 18, 2023
Chairs Nicolas Bolik-Coulon and Supriya Pratihar
Mount Snow
89 Grand Summit Way
West Dover, Vermont, United States
 Venue and Travel Information

Conference Description

The Computational Aspects of Biomolecular NMR GRS provides a unique forum for young doctoral and post-doctoral researchers to present their work, discuss new methods, cutting edge ideas, and pre-published data, as well as to build collaborative relationships with their peers. Experienced mentors and trainee moderators will facilitate active participation in scientific discussion to allow all attendees to be engaged participants rather than spectators.

Investigations into the structure, function, and motion of small and large biomolecules in complex environments are the cornerstones of the seminar. The GRS will consist of a keynote lecture by a leader in Biomolecular NMR, talks by peers which will be selected from the submitted abstracts, and a mentorship session to offer scientific and career guidance to young scientists.

Related Meeting

This GRS will be held in conjunction with the "Computational Aspects of Biomolecular NMR" Gordon Research Conference (GRC). Those interested in attending both meetings must submit an application for the GRC in addition to an application for the GRS. Refer to the associated GRC program page for more information.
