Gaussian Accelerated Molecular Dynamics (GaMD) Workshop

on Oct 28, 2024, at UNC-Chapel Hill

We are pleased to announce the Gaussian accelerated Molecular Dynamics (GaMD) workshop that will be held on Monday, Oct 28, 2024, at the University of North Carolina (UNC), Chapel Hill. The workshop is supported by the UNC Department of Pharmacology and Computational Medicine Program. It is designed for all students and researchers in Computational Chemistry, Biophysics, and Biomedicine in the areas of Molecular Dynamics, Enhanced Sampling, and Drug Design. The covered topics will include the latest developments and advanced application studies of the GaMD methodology.

There is no registration fee for attending the workshop, but participants are responsible for the travel and housing costs if attending in person.

The workshop will consist of several invited talks in the morning and “hands-on” tutorial sessions on different GaMD algorithms in the afternoon. Confirmed speakers include:

• Prof. Surl-Hee (Shirley) Ahn, University of California, Davis
• Prof. Ramon Alain Miranda Quintana, University of Florida
• Prof. Steffen Lindert, Ohio State University
• Prof. James Prestegard, University of Georgia 
• Prof. Pengfei Li, Loyola University Chicago 

“Hands-on” tutorial sessions will be given about step-by-step guided usage of the dual-boost GaMD, Ligand GaMD (LiGaMD), Peptide GaMD (Pep-GaMD), and Protein-Protein Interaction – GaMD (PPI-GaMD), etc.
