Participants will have the opportunity to present their work via selected short talks or during the special ‘Laptop Session’, an interactive and lively alternative to the traditional poster session, where participants come with their laptop and present a short slide-show (2-3 slides) and eventually a linked demonstration of their work The preliminary program is now available: 24th of April Alexandre Bonvin, Bijvoet Center for Biomolecular Research, Utrecht University, The Netherlands "High-resolution, integrative modelling of biomolecular complexes from fuzzy data" Ozlem Keskin, Koç University, Computational Systems Biology Lab, Turkey "Protein-protein interfaces: amino acid variations and hot spot residues" Yanay Ofran, Bar-Ian University, Systems Biology and Functional Genomics, Israel "All models are wrong, some are useful": Predicting and designing interactions based on multiple wrong models Contributed talk 1 25th of April Ilya Vakser, University of Kansas, Center for Computational Biology, USA "Comparative vs. Free Docking in Modeling of Interactome" Franca Fraternali, King's College London, Bioinformatics and Computational Biology, UK TBA Peter Uetz, Virginia Commonwealth University, Center for the Study of Biological Complexity, USA "Protein complexes and protein interaction networks in bacteria" Contributed talk 2 Contributed talk 3 ** Laptop Session ** Emmanuel Levy, Weizmann Institute of Science, Cell architecture lab, Israel "Proteins evolve on the edge of supramolecular self-assembly" Julia Shifman, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Protein-Protein Interactions, Israel "Cold spots in Protein Binding" Elisa Fadda, Maynooth University, Computational Biophysics, Ireland "Are structure-less protein regions really so structure-less? An atomistic view of the architecture of disorder and its functions in protein-protein interactions" Rob Russel, University of Heidelberg, Protein Evolution Germany TBA Contributed talk 4 26th of April Raphael Guerois, Institute of Integrative Biology of the Cell, CEA, Unit of Bioenergetics, Structural Biology and Mechanisms, France "Structural modeling and design of protein interactions using evolution" Monika Fuxreiter, University of Debrecen, Laboratory of Protein Dynamics, Hungary "Dynamic interactions and fuzziness in protein complexes and higher-order assemblies" Patrick Aloy, Institute for Research in Biomedicine, Barcelona, Spain "A network biology approach to novel therapeutic strategies" Contributed talk 5
