Welcome to

KAUST Cell Visualization Summit 2019

‌‌KAUST Cell Visualization Summit will focus on the technological advancement that can lead to an in-silico virtual and visual representation by integrating current knowledge into a unified structural and dynamic model of a living cell. Each keynote speaker will relate to one of the technological aspects (modeling, visualization, and interaction).

Abstract Science communication is facing a paradigm shift, based on the convergence of exploratory and explanatory visualization. In this article, we coin the term exploranation to denote the way in which visualization methods from scientific exploration can be used to communicate results and how methods in explanatory visualization can enrich exploration. Brief Biography Professor Ynnerman is currently the head of the Media and Information Technology division at the Department of Science and Technology (ITN) at Linköping University and is the director of the Norrköping Visualization Center C

Abstract The visual analysis, assembly, and communication of molecule-scale events have benefited greatly from an explosion of available tools and data that has been provided and evolved by the structural biology community over the past 40 years. Compared to molecular visualization, however, the data, tools, and techniques available for cell-scale visualization remain in relative infancy. In structural biology, the details of a molecule can commonly be summarized with a few megabytes of data, which is heavily constrained by nanoscale physics. Could we ever uncover patterns and rules that will

Abstract The ability to create structural models of cells and cellular components at the molecular level is being driven by advances ranging from proteomics and expression profiling to ever more powerful imaging approaches. It is being enabled by technology leaps in computation, informatics, and visualization. Our CellPACK program and web-based Mesoscope are tools for generating and curating structural models of cellular environments at molecular and atomic levels. Recently we have implemented a GPU-based implementation of CellPACK that speeds up the process by orders of magnitude, in what we
