Computation is the new experiment
After decades of playing second fiddle, computation is now taking center stage — achieving critical insights that experimentation alone cannot provide. We are witnessing a dramatic rise in artificial intelligence–based methods coupled with year-on-year improvements of physics-based approaches. We now can fold a protein accurately from sequence alone!
Game-changing methods in protein and enzyme design are hurtling toward us. Scientists now can integrate numerous experimental data sets into computational models to explore previously unseen elements at (and across) scales never before achieved. Computational simulations are rewriting textbooks — from molecules to system dynamics and function. Machine learning is transforming drug design and development.
All in all, you will not find a symposium at , the annual meeting of the 91亚色传媒, filled with more excitement and possibility than ours. Buckle up for a thrilling ride in March in Seattle!
Keywords: Artificial intelligence, structural biology, simulation, drug discovery, bioinformatics, systems biology, machine learning.
Who should attend: All who want to find out how computation is transforming biological problem-solving.
Theme song: “Respect” by Aretha Franklin, because computation deserves it.
This session is powered by a powerful flux capacitor.

An inclusive solar eclipse 鈥� with outreach
Traveling more than 150 miles with a group of neurodivergent students to have them witness a rare orbital alignment. and also teach the public about it, requires some strategic planning.
Predicting fatty liver disease from a tiny blood sample
Obesity and being overweight aren't the only factors that contribute to liver disease. New tests can help identify who is at risk or already has the disease, even in people who are lean or have a normal weight.
An ancient animal helps scientists improve modern technology
The same molecules that help tardigrades survive extreme weather can improve cryo-EM images of cellular structures and proteins, a team led by University of Wisconsin鈥揗adison researcher Ci Ji Lim reports.
New structure gives insight into mRNA export and cancers
Yi Ren鈥檚 lab at Vanderbilt has described the structure of a protein complex that sheds light on the underlying molecular mechanism of mRNA export.
