Conference overview
The 2027 EMBO Workshop on computational structural biology will bring together the international community working at the interface of structural biology and computation. After the AlphaFold revolution and the AlphaFold3 generation of all-atom models, the field is moving beyond static prediction toward dynamics, ensembles, biological context, and design.
The programme is built around six sessions: all-atom and integrative modelling of biomolecules and assemblies; nucleic acid structure and nucleic acid-protein interactions; physics-based simulation and dynamics; machine-learned dynamics and conformational ensembles; biomolecular design and drug discovery; and function, evolution, mechanism. The 2027 edition puts emphasis on two whole sessions on dynamics (one classical, one ML), nucleic acids elevated to a standalone session, and a strengthened biology-and applications spine.
The meeting hosts 16 invited speakers and two keynote speakers, abstract-selected short talks, a round-table discussion, poster sessions, a job fair, and dedicated networking. Our goals are to disseminate the latest methods and results, foster interdisciplinary collaboration across the prediction-dynamics-design-biology spectrum, and chart future directions for the field.

Warning
EMBL wishes to warn sponsors of EMBL conferences and courses of fraudulent schemes purporting to offer sponsorship opportunities on behalf of EMBL or affiliated with EMBL officials. One current scam campaign of which we are aware is conducted using the name ‘Judy Eastman’ (judy@gopcontact.a2hosted.com) and entails approaches to sponsors offering sponsorship opportunities on EMBL’s behalf. Please be kindly advised that all relevant communication regarding sponsorship of EMBL conferences, symposia and courses is handled by EMBL directly and is sent from an official EMBL account. EMBL does not work with any external providers on sponsorship acquisition.
Please also note that:
- EMBL never provides attendee lists for purchase. Any offers of such are fraudulent.
- EMBL will never call or email you to ask for your credit card details or to request a payment.
- All payments are on invoice.
Suspicious communications purportedly from, for or on behalf of EMBL should be reported to EMBL at the following email address sponsorship@embl.de.
