<blockquote type="cite" cite><font color="#000000">D. E. Shaw Research
is an independent research laboratory that conducts basic scientific
research in the field of computational biochemistry under the direct
scientific leadership of Dr. David E. Shaw. Our group is currently
focusing on molecular simulations involving proteins and other
biological macromolecules of potential interest from both a scientific
and a pharmaceutical perspective.</font></blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite><font

<blockquote type="cite" cite><font color="#000000">Our lab recently
constructed a massively parallel supercomputer called Anton, designed
specifically for the execution of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations.
Anton has already generated the world's longest MD trajectory, and is
now being used by our scientists to execute preliminary protein
simulations.</font></blockquote>

<blockquote type="cite" cite><font color="#000000">Join us for an
overview of our work on parallel algorithms and machine architectures
for high-speed MD simulations and a description of the simulations
that have helped elucidate the dynamics and functional mechanisms of
biologically important proteins.</font></blockquote>

<blockquote type="cite" cite><font color="#000000">Stop by to learn
about our current research projects and career opportunities within
the group. All science and technical majors are welcome. Refreshments
will be served.</font></blockquote>
