Introduction to Molecular Modelling & Visualisation for Life Sciences

This Melbourne Bioinformatics workshop introduces beginners to molecular modelling and visualisation techniques using packages such as VMD and NAMD.  After introductory talks participants will be given practical exercises to visualise molecules as well as learn how to submit jobs to the Melbourne Bioinformatics clusters. It is recommended that participants attend Introduction to High Performance Computing prior to this workshop. If you are not familiar with using the command line, please also attend the Introduction to Unix workshop.
