[institut] Fwd: Last week to apply: APS/ICTP-SAIFR Forum on Biological Physics

Sat Jan 11 00:09:18 CET 2020

Postovani,

Hteo sam da Vam obratim paznju na naucnu skolu iz biofizike/bioinformatike,
koju ove godine Americko fizicko drustvo (APS) organizuje u Sao Paulo-u, u
Brazilu, a gde je na predavanjima zastupljena i nasa skola
biofizike/bioinformatike.

Rok za prijavu je kratak (19. januar), a kako sam obavesten, dodeljuju se
stipendije sa punom financijskom podrskom studentima i postdokovima, pa
verujem da ce na IFB biti zainteresovanih da se prijave. Vise informacija o
prijavi se moze naci na
https://www.ictp-saifr.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/School-Biophysvf.pdf

Puno pozdrava,
Marko Djordjevic

Dear all,

We would like to remind all of you that the online application is open
until *January 19, 2020* (last call),

for the "*APS & ICTP-SAIFR Young Physicists Forum on Biological Physics:
from Molecular to Macroscopic Scale*",

which will take place at ICTP-SAIFR at the UNESP campus in São Paulo,
Brazil, in

*March 9-15, 2020*. *Travel funds are available for selected students from
all world regions. *

Application should be done during the registration process.

Covering a broad spectrum of biophysical topics from highly charged,
molecular Coulomb systems

to the collective behavior of active particles and a broad spectrum of
methodological approaches

such as advanced constant-pH simulation techniques or recent developments
in the foundations of

non-equilibrium statistical physics, the school aims at discussing basic
concepts as well as

state-of-the-art research, and at fostering constructive interactions
between theory, simulations and

experiments. To this end, a series of about 10 topical lectures will be
complemented by discussion

and exercise sessions.

This school is aimed at graduate students and young researchers in the
fields of *statistical mechanics, *

*materials science, biophysics, bioinformatics, system biology, soft matter
and nanobiotechnology*.

Besides poster sections, participants will have the opportunity to bring
their own results for discussions

at special group meetings with the Lecturers during the event.

*Lecturers*

- Leandro Barbosa (USP-Sao Paulo, Brazil): "Experimental techniques in
structural biophysics"

- Fernando Barroso (USP-Ribeirao Preto, Brazil): "Peculiar electrostatic
mechanisms observed in

biomolecular systems and constant-pH simulations (methodological
developments and applications

to functionally interesting systems (e.g., biomaterials, virus,
coacervates, protein-RNA interactions)"

- Marko Djordjevic (University of Belgrade, Serbia): "A biophysical
approach to modeling biological systems

and bioinformatics"

- Ralf Eichhorn (NORDITA, Sweden): "Brownian motion and non-equilibrium
statistical physics"

- Shaker Chuck Farah (IQ-USP, Brazil): "Proteins and nucleic acids: basic
concepts and challenges"

- Moyses Nussenzveig (UFRJ, Brazil): "Cell membrane biophysics with optical
tweezers"

- Antonio Carlos Roque (USP-Ribeirao Preto, Brazil): "Neuronal networks
(biological and artificial)"

- Erik Santiso (NC State University, USA): "Developing (macro)molecular
models with SAFT-𝞬Mie"

- Eduardo Lima (UERJ, Brazil): "Ion-specific effects on biocolloidal systems
"

- Julia Yeomans (University of Oxford, UK): "Challenges in active matter:
connecting molecular and microscopic scales"

*Organizers *

- Fernando Barroso (Univ. of Sao Paulo, Brazil)

- Ralf Eichhorn (NORDITA, Sweden)
