HITS organizes scientific events throughout the year. Each month, HITS hosts its colloquium series. If you like to receive an invitation, please use this registration form: https://www.h-its.org/registration/
Our research groups offer scientific workshops. Additionally, HITS offers talks and events for the general public in Heidelberg and surroundings.
By Erik Lindahl, Stockholms universitet, Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics, Stockholm, Sweden Ligand-gated ion channels control the electrical excitation of nerve cells, in particular in the post-synaptic membrane in response to chemical signals mediated by neurotransmitters. These receptors exhibit an amazing diversity in detailed structure and function - some human channels have 15-20 slightly genes, […]
Studio Villa Bosch
Schloss-Wolfsbrunnenweg 33, Heidelberg, Germany
By Prof. Dr. Corinna Hoose, Institute of Meteorology and Climate Research, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology Deep convective clouds and the resulting heavy precipitation, hail, lightning and wind gusts can cause severe damage. Their forecasting with current numerical weather prediction models is a challenge, both because of limitations on spatial resolution and because of the low […]
Studio Villa Bosch
Schloss-Wolfsbrunnenweg 33, Heidelberg, Germany
By Wolfgang Maier, Director HW Development, IBM R&D - Systems & Technology Group, Böblingen The ongoing digitization of todays world is essentially based on Shannon's theory of Information and its implementation by means of semiconductor cicuitry, which is characterized by Moore's law. The principal concept of this approach is to represent information by bits, which […]
Prof. Dr. Robert C. Williamson, Australian National University, Research School of Computer Science, Australia With the rapid growth of AI and its deployment with consequences to people, ethical concerns regarding AI have become extremely topical. In this talk I will present a view somewhat contrary relative to much of the current literature. After briefly […]
Prof. Dr. Jens Meiler, Vanderbilt University, Informatics Center for Structural Biology, USA Curriculum vitae: Jens Meiler studied Chemistry Leipzig University in Germany before he obtained his PhD working in the laboratory of Christian Griesinger at the Goethe University in Frankfurt developing new computational methods for biomolecular NMR spectroscopy. In 2001 he moved to […]
During this 3-day course, attendees will learn basic techniques for modeling of biochemical networks including data access and storage due to the FAIR principles. The first day introduces principles of stoichiometric and constraint-based modeling coupled with hands on exercises using CellNetAnalyzer. The second day continues with kinetic modeling techniques which will be illustrated and exercised […]
Prof. Dr. Claudia Draxl, Physics Department of the Humboldt-University of Berlin, solid-state theory group Curriculum vitae: Claudia Draxl is Einstein Professor at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Germany and Max-Planck Fellow at the Max Planck Graduate Center for Quantum Materials. Her research interests cover theorectical concepts and methodology to get insight into a variety […]
By Robert Best, National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, Theoretical Biophysical Chemistry Section, USA Intrinsically disordered proteins are now recognized to play a variety of roles in biology, yet are challenging to characterize by experiment owing to the diverse ensemble of structures they populate. This makes molecular simulations, which can generate […]
The measure of science is citations. Whether experimental results get called significant or whether new lines of research get taken up depends on the number of citations an article receives. And it's always articles. The primary outlet of scientific research is the journal, and a journal's Impact Factor (its index for frequency of article […]
In her talk, Siobhan Roberts will reflect on her pandemic reporting and the importance of uncertainty in science. She will discuss epistemic uncertainty, a lack of knowledge about facts and numbers pertaining to the past and present, versus aleatory uncertainty, unknowns about the future due to randomness and chance. She will also explore the […]
