BOSTON PROTEIN DESIGN AND MODELING CLUB

introduction and membership

Boston Protein Design and Modeling Club (BPDMC) is a community of computational protein engineers and modelers from both academia and industry. While we are based in Boston USA, BPDMC is also a global online community open to everyone.

Please send us an email and introduce yourself if you're interested in joining. We use google groups to keep our members informed, which works best with a gmail account. Joining with a personal email account rather than a professional one is preferable, that way people don't lose touch when they graduate or change jobs.

meetings

BPDMC hosts a monthly meeting that begins with dinner, drinks, and an hour-long scientific program. We have seminars, tutorials and workshops, and the occasional moderated group discussion after a major breakthrough is announced. The scientific program is followed by an hour (or so) for additional discussion and networking.

Meetings (typically) occur on the second Wednesday of every month and begin at 7pm Eastern Time, and food and drinks are served starting at 6:30pm. The meeting location moves around the greater Boston area month-to-month.

about

BPDMC was founded by Chris Bahl in 2017, and is currently co-organized by Sergey Ovchinnikov, Nick Polizzi and Chris Bahl, with generous assistance from many folks. BPDMC is a project of the Open Molecular Software Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
