Biobytes - a molecular modelling event for bioscientists.

May 8, 2012 - 1:19pm
A collaboration between the School of Life Sciences and the Centre for Parallel Computing at the University of Westminster. Date:  Jun 19 2012 (All day) - Jun 21 2012 (All day) Location:  London, UK DNA.jpg

One of the major hurdles for bioscientists and students working in the area of molecular modelling, ligand docking and molecular dynamics is the need to master command line driven programs on LINUX or UNIX platforms. Often, the one “computer literate” student in the laboratory finds themselves doing work for other who can cope with analysis of the results but who cannot set up the experiment themselves.
