<DIV></DIV>Greetings,
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Melinda has asked if you would re-send this announcement along to your
students. The event takes place this evening.<BR><BR></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Thank you in advance,</DIV>

4-237<BR>Building 4<BR><BR>About The Talk<BR><BR>D. E. Shaw Research is an
independent research laboratory that conducts<BR>basic scientific research in
the field of computational biochemistry<BR>under the direct scientific
leadership of Dr. David E. Shaw. Our group<BR>is currently focusing on molecular
simulations involving proteins and<BR>other biological macromolecules of
potential interest from both a<BR>scientific and a pharmaceutical
perspective.<BR>Recently, our lab constructed the first of 16 "segments" of a
massively<BR>parallel supercomputer called Anton, designed specifically for
the<BR>execution of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Anton has
already<BR>generated the world's longest MD trajectory, and is now being used
by<BR>our scientists to execute preliminary protein simulations.<BR><BR>Join us
for an overview of our work on parallel algorithms and machine<BR>architectures
for high-speed MD simulations and a description of the<BR>simulations that have
helped elucidate the dynamics and functional<BR>mechanisms of biologically
important proteins. Enjoy Bertucci's pizza<BR>and warm rolls while learning
about our current research projects and<BR>the full-time and internship
opportunities within the group. All science<BR>and technical majors are
welcome. <BR><BR>Learn more at </B><A
