SYMPOSIA – Tuesday
Modeling, Simulation, and
Data Visualization
douglas fir 1 & 2
Tuesday
1:00 p.m. – 5:20 p.m.
Program organizers: Tim Andersen (Department of Computer
Science and Engineering, Boise State University) and
Jeff Habig (Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry,
Boise State University).
Program sponsored by the Pacific Division section of Computer
and Information Sciences.
The aim of this symposium is to promote and foster collaboration
among Idaho researchers involved in modeling, simulation,
visualization and numerical algorithm development
in science and engineering applications. A secondary aim is
to make researchers aware of computational resources available
to them in Idaho to carry out their research.

Transport Across Membranes
Payette river
Tuesday
1:30 p.m. – 3:30 p.m.
Program organizers: Daniel Fologea (Department of Physics,
Boise State University) and James R. Groome (Department
of Biology, Idaho State University, Pocatello).
Program sponsored by the Pacific Division sections on Cell
and Molecular Biology, and Chemistry and Biochemistry.
Highly selective molecular transport through biological
membranes is essential for life. Directed flows of ions and
macromolecules are main pieces of complex life-sustaining
processes such as intra- and inter-cellular communication,
transport of molecules, ions, and nutrients, energy production,
motility, information storage and transmission, and
maintenance of electrochemical gradients. Specific components
of the transport mechanisms play key roles as targets
for viruses and pharmaceuticals, and their malfunctioning
often lead to various diseases, even death.
The main goal of this symposium is to shed more light on
the mechanistic of transport across biological membranes,
and to improve our understanding with respect to physiological,
biological, and medical relevance. This symposium is
open to researchers, students, and professionals interested in
this fascinating inter-disciplinary field.
