Myofilament Meeting- Workshops hosted by the CTMR
Workshops on Tuesday, May 21, 2024:
1. iPSC workshop, organized by Mike Regner, Carter Ralphe, and Kareen Coulombe
2. Computational approaches in myofilament research, organized by Mike Regnier
This workshop will introduce new models and analytical tools at two scales – the actomyosin complex and the sarcomere. The goal is to demonstrate the usefulness of these models and tools, then have a discussion of what additional development of modeling approaches would be most useful to experimentalists.
