Intensive Summer School: Multiscale Modelling Methods

15th to 26th July, 2024

26 Jul 2024

The National Centre for Biomolecular Research, in collaboration with CEITEC and the Centre for International Cooperation, organized the second year of the intensive two-week summer school from 15th to 26th July 2024. The school program focused on edge computer simulation techniques at various scales, from atomic to coarse-grained simulations, covering topics from supramolecular chemistry to structural biology. The course was attended by 15 students, mainly from the bachelor and master levels.

From α-Synuclein Structure to Early Diagnosis of Parkinson’s Disease

Pavle Križan and Jozef Hritz from NCBR contributed to a review highlighting recent advances in understanding α-synuclein structure and aggregation. The study shows how these insights support the development of ultrasensitive diagnostic methods for earlier and more accurate detection of synucleinopathies.
