Introduction

The first Advanced School in BioMolecular Simulations will offer five days of intensive training in a wide range of Molecular Dynamics (MD) methods and Modelling biomembranes. It will also provide an opportunity for discussion of research projects with invited lecturers and colleagues. The School comprises one mini-course, three lectures, five talks by invited speakers and three tutorials sessions. 

All participants are expected to be students and post-docs with previous experience in molecular simulations. Participants are instructed to bring his/her own laptop running Linux operational system, which will be required for use in the practical sessions. The list of open-source software to be used during the tutorials are: fortran compiler (ifort or gfortran), FFTW, VMD, Gnuplot and Xmgrace, and Gromacs. 

All participants are expected to be students and post-docs with previous experience in molecular simulations and they are instructed to bring his/her own laptop with linux operational system, required for use in the practical sessions. The list of open-source software to be used during the tutorials will be informed upon selection of participants. 

All participants will present their work in a 5min oral presentation, in English. The idea of this oral presentation is to integrate the school participants and raise issues for discussions and collaborations. Therefore, this presentation should have the main question of the research project and the strategy used to answer it.

The Advanced School in BioMolecular Simulations is promoted by the BioMol project, a cooperative effort between researchers at the Federal University of Pernambuco (UFPE) and the University of São Paulo (USP). One of the main goals of the BioMol project is to promote the education and technical training of biologists, chemists, computer scientist, mathematicians and physicists for research in the field of bioinformatics.
