The upcoming symposium on "Multi-scale Modeling of Biomolecular Condensates" aims to bring together leading experts and emerging scholars in the field of biomolecular research. This event will focus on the cutting-edge methodologies and theoretical approaches used in the study of biomolecular condensates, a critical aspect of cellular biochemistry with implications for understanding complex biological systems and diseases. Biomolecular condensates, formed through phase separation within cells, play a pivotal role in orchestrating various cellular processes. This symposium will delve into the multi-scale modeling techniques that are being developed and employed to decode the intricate dynamics and functions of these condensates. It will cover a range of topics, including but not limited to: molecular dynamics simulations, coarse-grained modeling, and integrative approaches combining experimental and computational methods. Key sessions will include presentations on the latest advancements in computational tools for predicting the formation and behavior of biomolecular condensates, the role of condensates in neurodegenerative diseases, and the potential therapeutic interventions targeting these structures. Interactive workshops and panel discussions are designed to foster collaborations and discussions on overcoming the current challenges in the field. This symposium is an ideal platform for researchers from various disciplines such as biochemistry, biophysics, computational biology, and systems biology, providing a unique opportunity to share insights, form new collaborations, and advance the understanding of biomolecular condensates. The event promises to be a milestone in bridging gaps between theoretical models and experimental observations, paving the way for new discoveries in the realm of cellular biology.
