2018 Workshop on Free Energy Methods, Kinetics and Markov State Models in Drug Design: Videos are up!

The 2018 Workshop on Free Energy Methods, Kinetics and Markov State Models in Drug Design held at the Novartis NIBR campus in Cambridge, MA was a huge success! You can read some of the livetweeting by following #drugalchemy and #drugmsm on twitter, and catch up on talks you may have missed by going through our YouTube video playlist featuring recordings of all talks where the speakers consented to being recorded.

Special thanks to lead organizers Michael Schnieders and Greg Bowman, the fantastic panel of organizers, postdoc Levi Naden and Novartis Investigator Callum Dickson for wrangling A/V and venue details, Jose Duca for graciously allowing us to use the NIBR site, the Novartis A/V team, keynote speaker Mark Murcko, our hosts at Novartis, and all our wonderful speakers and participants for making this a success.

ICMS Edinburgh Workshop on multiscale methods for stochastic dynamical systems in biology

The International Centre for Mathematical Sciences (ICMS) held a fantastic workshop over the last week here in Edinburgh, covering multiscale methods for stochastic dynamical systems in biology.  It's phenomenal that there are organizations that are strongly committed to supporting the exciting interface between mathematics and the biological sciences, and the enthusiastic discussions at this meeting were a reflection of the enormous potential that work at this interface holds for both fields. These workshops also attempt to engage the public to communicate the importance of this interdisciplinary work through a public lecture series, with Sarah A. Harris delivering a talk on the interface of physics and biology.

PDF slides from my talk are available online, and the talks were all recorded to be posted online shortly.
