Month: October 2019

Members of the Voelz lab met for a one-day Folding@home Consortium meeting at Washington University in St. Louis.  The meeting focused on the science currently being performed on Folding@home, training new consortium members, and thinking ahead toward future technical capabilities, as well as user engagement and outreach.   

Many thanks go to Joseph Coffland (Cauldron Development), Justin Porter (Bowman group) and Rafal Wiewiora (Chodera group) for giving insightful demos, and Greg Bowman for hosting such a productive event!
