Syed Babar Ali School of Science and Engineering (SBASSE) is organising a conference on Molecular Dynamics in Soft Matter and Biological Physics, which will draw together speakers and researchers in computational physics and computational biology. The focus of the conversation will be the identification and development of expertise in molecular simulations that can be harnessed to promote innovative solutions in the areas of material science, nanotechnology and biotechnology and pharmacology. Research in both Pakistan and abroad has leveraged multi-disciplinary approaches to address basic and applied issues in this area. The event is in collaboration with the Higher Education Commission Pakistan.
Date: February 13 – 14, 2020
Time: 9:00 am – 5:00 pm
Venue: SBASSE, LUMS
