CCPBioSim Conference: Frontiers in Biomolecular Simulations
July 14 - July 16
This year’s CCPBioSim annual conference has the theme of exploring the cutting edge of biomolecular simulations and associated methods, and their real-world impacts. Biomolecular modelling has an ever increasing role in the creation of new therapies, including antibodies and peptides. Simulation is also widely used to help interpret experimental data and features in many structural biology pipelines.
Machine learning and artificial intelligence are having an ever-increasing impact, analysing simulation data, improving the accuracy of intermolecular potentials, and designing novel biomolecules, often with the aid of physics-based approaches. This conference will showcase the latest advances in these broad areas, and how they are impacting industry and academia.
We invite abstracts for posters and talks in the area of cutting-edge biomolecular simulation and modelling. Topics of interest include:
- New methods: What new approaches have enabled faster or more accurate or larger-scale simulations of biomolecular systems?
- Pushing the envelope: Where have larger or longer simulations delivered new biological insights?
- Artificial intelligence: How is the combination of machine learning and artificial intelligence with biomolecular simulation advancing our knowledge of biological systems?
- Experimental interpretation and design: How can we best combine biomolecular simulation and experiment to deliver new biological understanding?
We look forward to seeing you all in Southampton!

About CCPBioSim
CCPBioSim is an inclusive wide-ranging project, bringing together chemists, physicists and chemical engineers as well as researchers from all branches of ‘molecule-oriented’ biochemistry and biology. Our aim is to involve experimentalists and computational specialists, sharing the belief that the best science can be done when theory and experiment are closely integrated. CCPBioSim develops and provides training and tools to lower the barrier to non-experts becoming proficient and productive users of biomolecular simulation techniques. We also work to develop and apply advanced methods.
