About the Workshop

Building on the success of the 2022 EMBO Workshop “When Predictions Meet
Experiments: The Future of Structure Determination”, this second edition
continues the journey at the interface of computational predictions and
experimental structure determination. While the past years have witnessed
remarkable advancements, particularly with AI-driven approaches such as
AlphaFold and RosettaFold, many challenges remain in fully understanding
macromolecular structures, their dynamics, and functional mechanisms.

This EMBO Workshop will explore key open questions in the field, including
the structure and behavior of intrinsically disordered proteins,
multi-domain systems, large molecular machines, and RNA molecules. Special
attention will be given to integrating machine learning and AI predictions
with experimental techniques, a frontier still evolving and requiring
deeper synergy between disciplines.

The Workshop will consist of lectures by leading computer scientists and
computational and experimental structural biologists. By bringing these
communities together, the event aims to foster discussions, inspire new
collaborations, and drive forward the development of innovative
methodologies, rather than detailing technical aspects. The ultimate goal
is to bridge the remaining gaps and push the boundaries of Structural
Biology toward a more comprehensive understanding of the molecular world.

This EMBO Workshop is principally aimed at the mature graduate
student/postdoctoral level, but applications from scientists at all levels
are encouraged.


*About EMBO Courses and Workshops*

EMBO Courses and Workshops are selected for their excellent scientific
quality and timelines, provision of good networking activities for all
participants and speaker gender diversity (at least 40% of speakers must be
from the underrepresented gender).

Organisers are encouraged to implement measures to make the meeting
environmentally more sustainable.



Yours

Arne
