Keystone Symposia Meeting:

Computational Design and Modeling of Biomolecules

MARCH 14TH - 17TH 2023 | Fairmont Banff Springs, Banff, AB, Canada

Scientific Organizers: Tim Whitehead, Nir London, Roberto A. Chica and Birte Höcker

The scientific community is increasingly able to predict and design three-dimensional structures of proteins, RNA, macromolecular complexes, and biomolecule-ligand interactions with atomic accuracy. This biomolecular design and modeling interdisciplinary field has impacted fields as diverse as immunology, nanotechnology, biocatalysis, cellular and molecular engineering, drug delivery, vaccinology, and drug discovery. These disparate fields are underpinned by continuing advances in the design and predictive modeling of biomolecules and biomolecular assemblies.

This conference was intended to bring the worldwide community of protein designers and modelers together to discuss recent advances. This program is topical as the field of protein design has moved from toy challenges to solving real-world problems. It was important to include computational design and modeling as its own conference as no other venue exists to bring the entire worldwide community to one location. In this watershed moment in the life of the field, this meeting can unite the global community of molecular modelers to build on these successes and push forward as a community to expand the field by diversifying our methods, approaches and ideas. In addition, the field of molecular modeling is naturally positioned to implement and integrate concepts and methodologies in deep learning and artificial intelligence. The huge recent spike in interest in such methods gave this conference a great opportunity to spearhead these developments.

APFED22: Advances in Protein Folding Evolution and Design:
Fostering protein research in Europe

APRIL 6TH - 8TH 2022 | Bayreuth Campus

Most conferences of interest to the protein-design community are hosted outside of Europe. Despite this, there is a burgeoning network of academics within European institutions and we therefore decided to host a conference in Germany. Through a University of Bayreuth funding scheme and a grant from the DFG, three PostDocs of our group were fortuitously able to realise this conference about protein folding, protein evolution and protein design.

PRe-ART Symposium 2019


SEPTEMBER 18TH - 19TH 2019 | Bayreuth Campus

The PRe-ART and PRe-ART-2T projects take an interdisciplinary approach to establish a novel detection system. To exchange ideas and gather new perspectives on our challenge we had the opportunity to host a scientific symposium in Bayreuth. We are proud of inviting leading voices of the protein design, protein engineering and protein evolution communities.
