We are pleased to have two new members, Lei WANG and Yang WANG, joining our group very recently. Lei finished his three rotations at CQB and decided to join us to pursue a PhD. Yang just graduated from “Beijing Computational Science Research Center” and joined us as a research assistant (and probably will become a postdoc soon). Welcome!

Invited by Dr. Chen Song, Prof. Jianpeng Ma from Rice University and Baylor College of Medicine visited us and gave a very inspiring seminar entitled “Application of Parallel Continuous Simulated Tempering (PCST) to Cryo-EM structural refinement at near-atomic resolution” at CQB on 22 June. Jiangguo Zhang is the host student and will do his PhD with Prof. Jianpeng Ma at Rice.

We attended “The 2nd Worldwide Chinese Computational Biology and Molecular Simulation Conference” at Sun Yat-Sen University, Guangzhou. It’s such a great conference organized by the School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Sun Yat-Sen University. And we will organize the 3rd WCCB Conference in 2020!

 

 

 

Invited and hosted by the Song Group, Prof. Emad Tajkhorshid visited CQB on 3-4 June. Prof. Tajkhorshid is one of the leading scientists in the development of the widely used scientific software NAMD and VMD. He gave us a wonderful talk entitled “Visualizing Biological Membranes and Their Function Using Advanced Modeling and Simulation Technologies”.

Dr. Song was invited to attend the “101st Canadian Chemistry Conference and Exhibition” at Edmonton and gave a talk on 29 May 2018.

Invited and hosted by Dr. Chen Song and Shasha Feng, Prof. Wonpil Im, the leading scientist of the CHARMM-GUI, G-LoSA and ST-analyzer projects, visited us and gave a seminar entitled “Bacterial Outer Membranes and Interactions with Membrane Proteins” at CQB.

Dr. Chen Song attended the CECAM workshop “Multiscale modelling in electrophysiology: from atoms to organs” at Lugano Switzerland on 26-28 Mar 2018, gave a talk entitled “Exploring permeation pathways of ion channels by multi-scale molecular dynamics simulations”, and chaired a session.
