CCPB Manifesto

The BBSRC 10-year vision is for more integrated, quantitative, and predictive biology. For systems as complex as those in biology, it is clear that computational methods have a central role in achieving this objective.
CCPB’s training and networking activities are designed to promote high-impact biological research that is only possible through close and innovative interactions between theoretical and experimental scientists:

• For those whose primary research methods are not computational, CCPB develops and provides training and tools that lower the barrier to non-experts becoming proficient and productive users of biomolecular simulation techniques.

• For those who are already biomolecular simulation specialists, CCPB promotes the development and uptake of the advanced and sophisticated methodologies that are required to produce high-quality, high-value data of the type relevant to well-integrated multidisciplinary studies.
• For all bioscientists, CCPB promotes the networking activities needed to ‘bridge the gap’ between theoretical and experimental methods.
