Some 60 faculty, graduate and postdoctoral students from 15 institutions worldwide took part at the sixth annual Symposium of the Centre for Research in Molecular Modeling (CERMM), held Feb. 10-12 in the Richard J. Renaud Science Complex on the Loyola Campus.
“I was told by a number of researchers that they significantly advanced their work thanks to useful discussion with other symposium participants,” said Gilles Peslherbe, professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Concordia and the founding director of CERMM.
Alongside Concordia, CERMM has five member institutions: McGill University, Université de Sherbrooke, École normale superieure and École Polytechnique in Paris, and China’s Shanghai Jiaotong University.
