> EUIndiaGrid2 Biology Grid and Cloud Workshop & Tutorial
> 29-30 March 2011, Cambridge University, Cambridge UK
> The EUIndiaGrid project with support from the Cambridge Systems Biology Centre and the Cambridge Computational Biology Institute invites applications to attend this free workshop and tutorial highlighting state-of-the-art developments in computational biology on the Grid and the Cloud.
> 
> Biology Grid and Cloud Workshop - 29 March
> With the increased computational needs of modern biology for data analysis, searches and simulations, and a deceleration in the development of faster processors, linking computers in a virtual network of a Grid or Cloud provides a much-needed solution. The alternative solution of parallel computing on Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) will also be covered. Our line-up of speakers includes experts on the technologies themselves, and those that have applied them to computational cell biology, neurobiology and gene regulation.
> 
> The workshop is the perfect opportunity for experts, developers and end-users in the Biotechnology space to learn more about the benefits and practical usage of Grid and Cloud computing as well as highlighting EU-Indian collaboration in this field.
> 
> With places limited to 100 and applications register now to ensure your place at the workshop. We encourage registrants to only register if they will participate so as to ensure that places are filled.
> 
> The workshop is free and includes refreshments and buffet lunch but not accommodation or travel.
> 
> Register now for the Biology Grid and Cloud workshop 29 March - Registration closes 22 March
> 
> For more information please contact Michael Simmons. Find out more here

> Smodlyn Tutorial - 30 March
> The Smodlyn tutorial is an opportunity for Grid application users to learn about  the Smoldyn algorithm which has demonstrated the power of Grid computing. Smoldyn is a stochastic simulator of cell-scale biochemical reactions at high spatial and temporal resolution and has been proven to be a powerful tool to reproduce a variety biological systems, make quantitative predictions, test novel hypotheses and quantify experimental data.
> 
> The tutorial will be given by Smoldyn's developer, Steve Andrews, and some of its most experienced users, Karen Lipkow, Shahid Khan and Hugo Schmidt.
> 
> The tutorial will be followed by collaborative coding sessions to take Smoldyn to the next level, integrate it into the MOOSE environment, port it to run on GPUs, etc. Participation is by invitation only, but if you think you could contribute, please contact Karen Lipkow.
> 
> Places at the tutorial are limited to 20 and applications are subject to final confirmation from the organisers. This EUIndiaGrid/CSBC tutorial is free and includes refreshments and buffet lunch but not accommodation or travel.
> 
> Register now for the Smoldyn tutorial - Registration closes 22 March
