The European Research Council supports the project "Variable resolution algorithms for macromolecular simulations – VARIAMOLS” by Dr. Raffaello Potestio with an ERC Starting Grant of 1.4 million euros. The group leader at the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research (MPI-P) will develop and apply novel techniques to represent a large biomolecule, such as a protein or an assembly of several proteins, with models that are at the same time chemically accurate and computationally efficient. The project will be carried out at the Physics Department of the University of Trento, Italy, and is scheduled to start on January 1, 2018. more

Dr. Tristan Bereau, scientist at the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research (MPI-P) in Mainz, has received a grant over 916,000 euros from the German Research Foundation (DFG) for his project on computer simulations of biomolecules using coarse-grained models. Enrolled in the DFG's Emmy Noether Programme since March 1, 2016, the French physicist leads an independent research group at the MPI-P that focuses on identifying compounds with specific biochemical functions. After a positive evaluation of the first three years, the grant will be extended for another two years with an additional amount of 415,000 euros. more
