The School focuses on contemporary biophysical topics. The selected subjects will draw young researchers' attention to frontier research issues of considerable scientific and educational impact. The School will be held in the magnificent Palazzo Franchetti, the premises of the "Istituto di Scienze Lettere ed Arti" located in the historical centre of Venice.
The focus of the 2015 School is Theoretical and Computational Approaches to Biophysics covering Polymer Physics models of chromosome organization in the cell nucleus, and ab-initio and classical Molecular Dynamics simulations of proteins. Different theories, algorithms and experiments will be discussed by the invited speakers.
