From Molecules to the Body to Space
A two-hour workshop featuring presentations from four presenters discuss creating 3 dimensional molecular and cellular structures using software programs. Columbia Art Director Nicoletta Barolini introduces Abigail Emtage, Senior Scientist II from Schrödinger, Professor David Goodsell from Scripps Research Institute and Rutgers University, Professor Tal Danino of Columbia University, and Founder & CEO from Digizyme, Gaël McGill. This workshop took place on April 9, 2021.
Program:
Abigail Emtage Schrodinger, Senior Scientist II and Education Specialist
David Goodsell Professor of Computational Biology at the Scripps Research Institute and Research Professor at Rutgers State University
Tal Danino Professor of Biomedical Engineering
Gaël Mcgill Founder & CEO, Digizyme Inc. Director of Molecular Visualization, Harvard Medical School Co-author & Digital Director, E.O. Wilson’s Life on Earth
As part of the Schrödinger Education Team, Dr. Abi Emtage works to convey key computational chemistry concepts by providing Schrödinger software training for customers, colleagues, and via science outreach projects.
David Goodsell currently holds a dual appointment as Professor of Computational Biology at the Scripps Research Institute and Research Professor at Rutgers State University. His current work includes the development of AutoDock, the most widely-used computational docking program in the scientific community, and CellPack, a new method for creating three-dimensional atomic models of large portions of cells.
Tal Danino is an Associate Professor at Columbia University in the Biomedical Engineering Department where he directs the interdisciplinary Synthetic Biological Systems Lab.
Dr. Gaël McGill is faculty and Director of Molecular Visualization at the Center for Molecular and Cellular Dynamics at Harvard Medical School where his teaching and research focuses on visualization design and assessment methods in science education. He is also founder & CEO of Digizyme, Inc. (www.digizyme.com) a firm dedicated to the visualization and communication of science.
