Training

Training at the TCBG
The Resource recognizes the vital importance of training for the education and professional growth of scientists. With so many techniques and technologies, researchers must continue to learn new and better ways of completing research, and should always be on the lookout for new tools to use, and new ways to use existing tools. In the sections below, we strive to provide a collection of tutorials and training methods to help scientists better utilize their talents, so that they may continue to advance their research. This section offers demos and tutorials on tools created by Resource members, and on techniques to assist the use of those tools. The links on this page lead to local as well as third-party training resources.

 Spotlight
Hands-on Workshop in San Francisco, California. At the end of June 2005, a workshop attempting to teach the craft and art of molecular modeling was conducted by the Theoretical and Computational Biophysics Group in San Francisco California. An agenda of morning lectures followed by related hands-on tutorial sessions in the afternoon gave the 20 participants the opportunity to develop the experience and sensitivity needed for meaningful applications of their newly-gained theoretical and computational skills. Working on laptops humming with computational biology software, e.g. VMD and NAMD, participants were able to stretch proteins, pull water through molecular channels, mine genomic data, build their own computer cluster, and study their favorite biomolecules.
