Computational Challenges in Multiscale Modeling and Simulation of Biological Systems

Biological molecules such as proteins are an integral part of the machinery of the cell. Understanding their dynamics, conformations, and interactions are essential steps in interpreting their behavior, annotating genomes, devising new medicinal drugs, and understanding cellular-level processes. At the same time, cells themselves interact to produce tissues and organs during development. The size of these systems, as well as the presence of multiple time and length scales makes systems biology modeling and simulation very challenging.
