On behalf of Sonsoles Martín-Santamaría (CIBMS-CSIC), we are pleased to share some useful information about this scientific event sponsored by the GEQC and co-organized also by Inés Corral (UAM) and Juanjo Nogueira (UAM):

**********************

We are pleased to announce the 1st EuChemS Chemical Biology School.

This 1st edition will be focused on Computational Chemical Biology and will take place in Madrid in a very nice residence close to the mountains, from the 8th to 11th of July, 2025.

The school is aimed at PhD students and postdoctoral researchers working in the Computational Chemical Biology field that are eager to learn more from specialists in the field through hands-on courses and personalized instruction.

We believe this school will set the groundwork for becoming a leading event in Computational Chemical Biology in Europe, to train the next generation of computational chemical biologists.

Confirmed topics and lecturers are:

  • Cheminformatics and Machine Learning in Drug Discovery (CDD). Albert Antolín, Institute of Biomedical Research de Barcelona, ES.
  • Machine Learning Potentials (MLP). Fernanda Duarte, Oxford University, UK.
  • Molecular Dynamics and Enhanced Sampling (MDE). Antonio Monari, Université Cité Paris, FR.
  • Free-Energy Calculations (FEC). Marc García Borras and Ferrán Feixas, Universitat de Girona, ES.
  • Coarse Grain Models (CGM). Manuel Melo, Universidade de Lisboa, PT.
  • Hybrid Quantum Mechanics/Molecular Mechanics Schemes (QMMM). Miquel Huix Rotllant, CNRS Marseille, FR.
  • Graphic digital representation, visual communication and social media: Eugenio Vázquez (CiQUS, ES) and Reyes Nuñez-Franco (CIC bioGUNE, ES).

You will need to bring your laptop to perform the tutorials. The registration fee (450 EUR) covers lectures, hands-on tutorials, accommodation (3 nights), meals and coffee breaks.

Places are limited to 40 participants to maintain an intimate, workshop-style atmosphere and ensure effective mentoring. Application for registration here (by 12th May):https://www.euchems.eu/euchems-chemical-biology-school-in-madrid-register/
