TRACK 1: Computational Biology in Drug Discovery and Biotechnology

 

The growing importance of computational methods in biomedicine and biotechnology was recently underscored by the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, which recognized advancements in protein design and structure prediction. These breakthroughs, driven by computer simulations and machine learning, are reshaping computational biology, with profound implications for drug discovery, disease modeling, and the development of new therapeutic strategies.
This track will explore the application of computational tools, including molecular dynamics simulations, machine learning, and artificial intelligence, to a wide range of challenges in biomedicine and biotechnology. Topics will cover areas such as the development of novel biomaterials, personalized medicine, and gene editing technologies. Attendees will gain insights into how these technologies are being integrated into both research and clinical practice, advancing the fields of healthcare and biotechnology.
