MSMBuilder Workshop: An Introduction to Molecular Dynamics Trajectory Analysis with Markov State Models

Simbios, in collaboration with the Chemistry Department at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, will be offering a one-day workshop on analyzing molecular dynamics simulations.

This mini-workshop is targeted at researchers who want to learn how to model protein dynamics using Markov State Models (MSMs) constructed from molecular dynamics simulations with the MSMBuilder software.

During the workshop, a general introduction to MSMs and their applications to protein folding and other conformational changes of biological macromolecules will be followed by a hands-on tutorial. The workshop will be jointly run by Prof. Vijay Pande and Dr. Greg Bowman from Stanford University, and Prof. Xuhui Huang and Dr. Daniel Silva from HKUST.
