- Topics
Workshop on theory and simulation of biomolecular phase separation and aggregation, covering multi-scale theoretical methods, atomistic and coarse-grained simulations, and machine learning approaches to model condensates. Topics span condensate biochemistry and physics, the cytoplasm as a complex emulsion, condensate interfaces, and out-of-equilibrium phase separation. It aims to connect methods across scales to understand condensate functions and disease links, fostering collaboration among physical chemists, soft matter physicists, bioinformaticians, and biologists.
