Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
Comp Chem Kitchen is a regular get together for molecular geeks and hackers: people using and developing computational methods to tackle problems in chemistry, biochemistry and drug discovery. We will focus on cheminformatics, computational chemistry, and molecular modelling, but will also include to neighboring areas in materials and bioinformatics.
We’re keen to encourage people involved with coding and methods development (i.e. hackers, in the original untarnished sense of the word) to join us. Our hope is that we will share best practices, even code snippets and software tools, and avoid re-inventing wheels.
We also invite speakers from industry and non-profits from time to time, and occasionally provide or organize software demos and tutorials. Here are some of the topics:
Software development (e.g.: Python, C, C++, CUDA, shell, Matlab, Gnuplot);
Optimizing force field parameters & EVB models;
Cheminformatics (e.g.: RDKit);
Using machine learning to predict crystallization;
X-ray crystallography, including small molecule and macromolecular;
Protein & RNA modeling, including Molecular Dynamics;
Virtual screening and Molecular Docking;
Machine Learning;
Quantum Methods, including DFT.
If you have ideas for speakers, or would like to give a talk, let us know.
