CCL: Invitation to Computational Chemical Biology Conference (08/06-08/09)

 Sent to CCL by: "Ross  Walker" [rcw(a)sdsc.edu]
 2nd notice - Abstract deadline May 1st 2015.
 Dear Colleagues,
 We invite you to register and submit oral and poster abstracts for the
 Computational Chemical
 Biology Conference (http://www.zingconferences.com/conferences/computational-chemical-
 biology/) that myself and Prof. Ian Gould are chairing. The meeting will take
 place at the
 Pullman Cairns International Hotel from 6th  9th August 2015.
 Sponsored by Takeda, Dotmatics and OpenEye.
 We have a number of exciting plenary and invited speakers lined up including a
 number of
 young and dynamic innovators from both academia and industry:
 Prof. Darrin York (Rutgers)
 Prof. Jonathan Essex (Southampton)
 Prof. Qiang Cui (Wisconsin)
 Dr. Felice Lightstone (LLNL)
 Dr. Zoe Cournia (BRFA Athens)
 Prof. Ron Dror (Stanford)
 Prof. Carlos Simmerling (Stony Brook)
 Dr. Andy Jennings (Takeda)
 Prof. Patricia Jennings (UCSD)
 Prof. Erik Lindahl (KTH Stockholm)
 Prof. Knut Teigen (Bergen)
 Prof. Steven Schwartz (Arizona)
 Prof. Jeremy Tame (Yokohama)
 Prof. Oscar Ces (Imperial College)
 Dr. Daniel Ormsby (Dotmatics)
 Prof. Laura Barter (Imperial College)
 Prof. Dave Winkler (CSIRO)
 Prof. Adrian Roitberg (UFL)
 Prof. David Minh (IIT)
 Prof. Thomas Cheatham (Utah)
 Prof. Alexey Onufriev (Virginia Tech)
 Prof. David Mobley (UCI)
 The conference will focus on multidisciplinary research that leverages computer
 simulation to
 address key questions crossing the physical sciences-life sciences/biomedical
 interface. In
 particular, the conference will feature sessions focusing on the development and
 application of
 novel and state-of-the-art computational tools and technology for solving major
 problems in
 the life and biomedical sciences.
 Topics will include advances in molecular dynamics simulation of enzymes;
 computational
 approaches to studying the interaction of drugs, drug transporters and signaling
 enzymes with
 lipid membranes; simulation of protein-protein interaction and multi-protein
 complex
 enzymatic systems; computational study of signaling pathways; new techniques in
 computational drug discovery as they apply to enzyme reactivity and dynamics;
 simulation of
 allosteric interactions; advances in multi-scale modeling; new techniques for
 direct simulation
 of reactivity in biological systems; and the impact of technological advances in
 computer
 hardware and software on the field of chemical biology.
 The conference will feature lectures by established leaders in the fields, as
 well as a specific
 focus on encouraging young and talented researchers to present both challenging
 questions
 and new ideas for solving them. The aim is to encourage a collegial atmosphere
 to promote
 stimulating and insightful discussion while enjoying the beauty of tropical
 Cairns, Australia.
 Deadlines for submissions is 1st May 2015 for Oral abstracts and 1st June 2015
 for poster
 abstracts. For information on confirmed speakers, sponsors and how to register,
