Bridging Atoms and Algorithms

A Symposium on AI and Structural Biology

March 17-18, 2026 at Vanderbilt University

The Vanderbilt Center for Structural Biology and the Center for AI in Protein Dynamics invite you to a day of exciting research, collaboration and networking that navigates the intersection of AI and Structural Biology on Tuesday and Wednesday, March 17-18, 2026, on the Vanderbilt campus. A highlight of the program is the inclusion of talks from preeminent scientists engaged in cutting-edge research that focuses on cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET), mass spectrometry, correlative light and electron microscopy (CLEM), machine learning and computational techniques to investigate the structure, function and dynamics of complex biological systems.

Bridging Atoms and Algorithms features a keynote address from Rommie Amaro, UC San Diego; and research talks from Joey Davis, MIT; Danielle Grotjahn, Scripps Research; and Greg Bowman, Penn. The program also includes workshops, Vanderbilt faculty and trainee talks, a reception and it wraps up with a poster session to highlight the cutting-edge research being performed in the various CSB and CAIPD labs.
