The idea of the 69th Benzon Symposium is to bring together the world’s leading scientist within protein structure prediction, design and machine learning for biology and create an intense and interactive environment for both young and experienced scientists. The 69th Benzon Symposium will thus both cover development of methods and applications of structure prediction and design in the biosciences.
The Symposium will be a four-day scientific meeting, Monday to Thursday from 09:00 to 17:30. The format will be a combination of state-of-the-art lectures by invited speakers, selected oral-poster presentations and poster sessions from younger researchers selected from submitted abstracts. Attendance will be limited to 100 scientific participants in total. The venue will be Radisson Collection Hotel (https://www.radissonhotels.com/en-us/), beautifully located in the heart of the Copenhagen for the entire event.
Tentative titles of the sessions are:
Protein design—methods
Protein design—applications
Protein structure prediction
Machine learning methods in protein science
Designing protein materials and intrinsically disordered proteins
Understanding and predicting effects of sequence variation
Visualizing protein structures
