17/06/2021 – AI3SD & RSC-CICAG Protein Structure Prediction
The challenge of protein structure prediction has advanced significantly in recent years, yet translation into impact, particularly in drug discovery, remains open. Furthermore, while we as a community have advanced in predicting protein structures, they offer only static snapshots, and do not yet consider effectively the protein dynamics and conformational change. Bringing together scientists working in this area, and those who work with the resulting data, this conference is intended as a pulse check on the status of the field and where we will start seeing impact and improvements for human benefit. The day will contain a number of talks from speakers who are key opinion leaders in the field, together with an opportunity to present posters to a wider audience, and will close with a panel discussion, which is intended to be provocative. Current invited speakers include: Charlotte Deane (University of Oxford), Derek Lowe (Novartis), Stephen Burley (RCSB PDB), and Tudor Oprea (University of New Mexico).
