DESCRIPTION:The call for applications is now open. \nDeadline: 15 Aug 202
 6\n	\n	African biophysics workshop advancing integrated computational and 
 experimental approaches through training\, mentorship\, networking\, and c
 ollaboration across the continent.\n	The workshop promotes integrated comp
 utational and experimental biophysics through lectures\, hands-on training
  in molecular simulations\, structural biology\, spectroscopy\, membrane b
 iophysics\, and AI-driven approaches for biophysical research. Participant
 s will gain experience with open-source scientific tools and resources for
  molecular modeling\, protein structure analysis\, and data-driven studies
  relevant to biomedicine and agriculture. Experimental sessions will explo
 re techniques including AFM\, cryo-EM\, single-molecule biophysics\, prote
 in crystallization\, and structure determination\, with applications to di
 seases of major relevance in Africa such as malaria and tuberculosis. Post
 er and oral sessions will foster scientific exchange and collaborative Afr
 ican research networks.\nTopics\n- Chemical Physics & Statistical Mechanic
