There are a few seats left for the 5th German Conference on Cheminformatics in Goslar and we’ll extend the deadline a bit to give you the chance to register if you haven’t done so.
The GCC is a great chance to meet with around 200 other participants from all areas of life science informatics and listen [...]

If the pompous title caught your attention, and you are ashamed of that: Don’t worry. It is all true. My cheminformatics and metabolism group at the European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI) is looking for a phd student this year and all you need to do is apply through the regular route. The range of possible topics [...]

The Singularity is near … (still)
April 8th, 2009 · No Comments · Fun, Hot Science, Life of Chris, People, Scientific Culture
My favorite thinkers over at the Singularity Hub have posted the quarterly summary of their best news stories. Go check it out. For those of you not knowing what this is about: Read the book “The singularity is near” by Ray Kurzweil. Compelling stuff.

The Trouble with Physics

I do not normally recommend books that I read to a wider public. Partly because I’m disappointed if someone dislikes a book that I loved, partly because I do not think that my taste is of interest to anyone, partly because 90% of my reading was written by Terry Pratchett. In addition, when it [...]

Back after an afternoon of heavy hiking to Castle Boymont uphill from Schloss Korb. Great stuff.
Day 3, Morning Session on Macromolecular Interactions: P-P, P-NA, NA-Light
Sara Linse of Lund report on her group’s work on Protein Interactions, Association and Fibrillation. Systems Chemistry is the study of molecules acting collectively, she proposes. Her focus of course [...]

The Wednesday morning session is about to start. Paul Labute chairs it.
Tom Blundell of Cambridge starts with “Exploring Biological and Chemical Space with High-Throughput Crystallographic, Biophysical and Computational Methods: The new Dimensions of Drug Discovery”. Tom starts with a view on a cell, stating its complicatedness or complexity. He points out the large number [...]

Beilstein Symposium on Systems Chemistry, Day 1
May 27th, 2008 · No Comments · Conferences and Meetings, Hot Science
I’ve been invited to deliver the summary talk for the 2008 Beilstein Symposium on Systems Chemistry in Bolzano, Italy. Being there for the fourth time in eight years (this symposium is biannual) I really always enjoy the meeting in this beautiful setting from the very first minute. The fact that the view and the food [...]
