AlgoSB schools

The Algorithms in Structural Bioinformatics (AlgoSB) school focuses on novel or recent approaches in structural bioinformatics in the largest sense. Leading researchers from institutes around the world are invited to provide lectures together with hands-on practical courses. A fundamental goal of the school is to facilitate an algorithmic view of these ideas in order to identify new research directions.

AlgoSB is aimed at bringing together scientists from different disciplines (computer science, biophysics, biochemistry, mathematics, …) in a pleasant setting amenable to learning new approaches and creating synergies for future work.

This year’s edition

The focus of AlgoSB 2023 is “From structure resolution to dynamical modeling in  cryo-electron microscopy” (see lectures page). It will be held at the Institute for Scientific Study (IESC) at Cargèse, in Corsica, France, overseeing the Mediterranean sea. This year’s school has received the label “Ecole Thématique” from the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS).

Each day of the school will consist of a theoretical course in the morning (from 9 a.m. to noon), a practical work in the afternoon (from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.) and an evening brainstorming session (5 – 5:30 p.m.). Free time in the afternoon can be devoted to informal discussions between participants, which can be combined with outdoor activities (swimming, hiking, running …) to enjoy the beautiful surroundings.

Audience

The AlgoSB school is open to students and researchers wishing to integrate new theoretical approaches and methodologies into their research or to extend them in new directions. The school is open to senior and junior scientists from academia and industry as well as PhD students and postdocs.
A maximum of 35 participants will be selected.
