This website is a virtual meeting place and hub for all users of computing for structural biology research in Australia. This is a collective community effort. It can be what we make it!
Getting involved
News
Foundations of protein structure training module now available!
A module added to the training material made available by EMBL-EBI. Module development was a collaboration between the ASBC community, BioCommons, and EMBL-EBI Protein Data Bank in Europe (PDBe).
ASBC @ the AI for Science Hackathon
Australian Structural Biology Computing (ASBC) community (UNSW Structural Biology Facility, WEHI, and the Monash AI Protein Design Program) contributed to the AI for Science Hackathon, bringing their expertise in optimising workflows for protein structure prediction and design.
Community talk series for 2026
Starting this year, speakers from across the structural biology community will be invited to present their work at the regular community meetings. The current plan is for there to be five of these meetings every year.
Next meeting is on May 20th
