SUMMARY:CCPBioSim Conference: Frontiers in Biomolecular Simulations
DESCRIPTION: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. \nMachine 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. \nWe invite abstracts for posters and talks in the area of cutting-edge biomolecular simulation and modelling. Topics of interest include: \n\nNew methods: What new approaches have enabled faster or more accurate or larger-scale simulations of biomolecular systems?\nPushing the envelope: Where have larger or longer simulations delivered new biological insights?\nArtificial intelligence: How is the combination of machine learning and artificial intelligence with biomolecular simulation advancing our knowledge of biological systems?\nExperimental interpretation and design: How can we best combine biomolecular simulation and experiment to deliver new biological understanding?\n\nWe look forward to seeing you all in Southampton! \nConfirmed Speakers\nMichael Shirts – University of Colorado Boulder\nMax Bonomi – Institut Pasteur\nHannah Bruce Macdonald – CHARM Therapeutics\nTomek Wlodarski – Institute of Biochemistry and Biophysics\, Warsaw\nSyma Khalid – University of Oxford\nKush Coshic – Max Planck Institute \nProgramme\nTBC \nRegistration\nRegistration is now open for CCPBiosim 2025! \nEarly Bird Registration Deadline: 19/05/25\nFinal Registration Deadline: 23/06/25 \nStudent Prices (Early Bird/Late): £120/£140\nNon-Student Prices (Early Bird/Late): £140/£160 \nRegistration includes talks\, poster sessions\, lunch and coffee breaks on all three days and a conference dinner taking place on the evening of the 15th. \nTo register please follow this link to the University of Sheffield’s online store: link \nPlease indicate clearly any accessibility and allergen needs at the time of registration or via email (ccpbiosim2025@soton.ac.uk). \nVenue\nThe conference will be taking place on Highfield Campus at The University of Southampton – talks will be held in the Building 2A lecture theatre / Posters\, lunch\, snacks\, drinks\, dinner to be hosted in the ‘Garden Court’ \nContributed Oral or Poster Presentations\nDeadlines for Abstract Submission: \nContributed Oral: 02/06/25\nPoster: 23/06/25 \nPlease complete this template and upload in the form  – https://ccpbiosim.ac.uk/soton2025 \nOrganising Committee\nProf. Jonathan Essex\, Southampton University\nDr. William Poole\, Southampton University\nProf. Aditi Borkar\, Nottingham University\nDr. Agnieszka Bronowska\, Newcastle University\nDr. Daniel Cole\, Newcastle University\nProf. Warispreet Singh\, Northumbria University\nDr. Sofia Oliveira\, Bristol University\nDr. James Gebbie-Rayet\, Daresbury Laboratory @ STFC\nDr. Shivani Harshe\, Sheffield University \nContact\nccpbiosim2025@soton.ac.uk \n\nAbout CCPBioSim\nCCPBioSim 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.

SUMMARY:Catchup - Salon - Working with Difficult People: Strategies for Academic Settings
DESCRIPTION:A weekly webinar to discuss careers and research topics. These sessions combine livestreams\, guest speakers\, and group online chat to exchange ideas\, challenge\, influence\, inspire\, and educate. In this session we hear from Dr Claire Price from Swansea University and Dr Anna Mallach from Imperial College London and this week it’s all about Colleagues\, Conflict and Communication – Working with Difficult People: Strategies for Academic Settings.\n \nIn research\, collaboration is essential\, but let’s face it\, not every working relationship is easy. Personalities can clash\, communication can break down\, and tension can quietly derail progress. Whether it’s a co-author who won’t respond\, a supervisor who micromanages\, or a colleague who undermines your ideas\, difficult dynamics are part of the job. But how do you handle them without burning bridges or losing momentum? Today\, we’ll explore practical strategies for navigating challenging relationships in academic settings—so you can protect your work\, your wellbeing\, and your professional growth. \nSpeakers\n\nDr Anna Mallach – holds a BSc in Neuroscience from King’s College London and a MRes in Experimental Neuroscience from Imperial College London. During her BBSRC-funded PhD at UCL\, Anna worked with Jennifer Pocock\, Selina Wray and Thomas Piers to study microglia – neuron interactions using induced pluripotent stem cells. Her postdoctoral research focussed on applying spatial transcriptomics to resolve the cellular responses to Alzheimer’s disease pathology to study dysfunctional cell-cell interactions working with Lorena Arancibia and Bart De Strooper. She is now in the UK Dementia Research Institute at Imperial College London\, leading her own lab. \nDr Claire Price obtained her BSc (hons) degree in Physiology at Cardiff University. She then spent time as a technician in an analytical and environmental chemistry laboratory before completing a PhD at Swansea University in biochemistry (studying alkane and fatty acid hydroxylating cytochromes P450 in Candida albicans). Claire’s research focusses on antifungal resistance in both humans and plants\, but she also has interests in using microorganisms for novel biotechnological uses. Claire is passionate about outreach and science communication. She is the founder of Merthyr Science Festival and won the Royal Society of Biology Outreach and Engagement Award for an Established Researcher in 2020. \nProgramme\nThe format of the event is a 30 minute livestream where the speakers will each present their thoughts on this topic for 10 minutes each\, the host will then ask questions and the livestream will end. The speakers will then join the online chat and interact with the audience\, answering questions and giving those who attended a chance to share their thoughts on the topic.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAvailable to join exclusivley in Dementia Researcher Communities – Online or in the App\n\nWatch the Recording
