DESCRIPTION

The COST Action ML4NGP is pleased to announce the 2nd Training School on Computational Tools to Study Non-Globular Proteins. The event is co-organized with the H2020-MSCA-RISE project REFRACT (GA 823886) and will take place at Sede Olavide, in Carmona (Spain) from 13 to 16 February, 2024.

The primary objective of this training school is to offer participants a comprehensive insight into recent advancements in computational resources, along with hands-on training for the study of non-globular proteins, focusing on aspects such as tandem repeat proteins, intrinsically disordered proteins, aggregation and low complexity regions.

The scientific program encompasses both lectures during the morning and practical sessions in the afternoon. Additionally, a social event and dinner will provide networking opportunities and a chance for participants to connect informally.

APPLICATIONS ARE OPEN UNTIL DECEMBER 15, 2024.

APPLICATION FORM

TARGET AUDIENCE AND REQUIREMENTS

Exclusive for working group members of the COST Action CA21160. Participants will be selected by the organizing committee in order to guarantee gender balance, early career researchers (PhD students and Junior postdocs), and geographic distribution. The Training School is limited to 25 participants. 

This Training school is intended for those who are interested in learning different computational advances to study non-globular proteins. Participants must be able to navigate online biological resources but are not expected to have computational or programming skills. Prior knowledge and basic training in Biochemistry, Biology, Bioengineering or related sciences are recommended.
