AlgoSB Winterschools
The Algorithms in Structural Bioinformatics (AlgoSB) schools focus on novel or recent approaches in structural bioinformatics in the largest sense. Leading researchers from institutes around the world are invited to provide lectures together with hands-on practical courses. A fundamental goal of the school is to facilitate an algorithmic view of these ideas in order to identify new research directions.
AlgoSB is aimed at bringing together scientists from different disciplines (computer science, biophysics, biochemistry, mathematics, …) in a pleasant setting amenable to learning new approaches and creating synergies for future work.
This year’s edition
The focus of AlgoSB 2025 is “ Structure modeling and design towards RNA-based therapeutics“. This year’s school has received the label “Ecole Thématique” from the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS).
Each course consists of a lecture followed by a practical session on the participants’ computers. Free time can be devoted to informal discussions between participants, which can be combined with outdoor activities to enjoy the beautiful surroundings.
Audience
The AlgoSB school is targeted towards PhD students, postdocs, and researchers from public research institutions and industry, both in France and internationally.
This school is limited to 30 participants. It is expected that all will participate for the duration of the school.
Venue
The school will take at the Centre International de Rencontres Mathématiques (CIRM), on the campus of Marseille-Luminy, at the border of the national parc des Calanques. You can find information on how to get to the CIRM here.
The arrival can be done from 4 p.m. on Sunday 7. A welcome buffet will be served around 7 p.m., just after the presentation of the participants around 5:30 p.m.
