>>About The Talk
>>
>>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.
>>
>>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.
>>
>>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.
>>
>>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.
