International conference Russian Supercomputing Days 2018
Russian Supercomputing Days is a key Russian supercomputer conference with international participation that annually gathers in Moscow the leading scientists and experts in high-performance computing and computer science. This year, the staff of the International Laboratory for Supercomputer Atomistic Modelling and Multi-scale Analysis took part in the conference (Nikolay Kondratyuk, Vsevolod Nikolskiy, Genri Norman, Alexander Semenov, Alexey Timofeev and Mikhail Khalilov).

15th Russian Symposium FAMMS-2018 (Foundations of Atomistic Multiscale Modeling and Simulation)
In August, the 15th symposium Foundations of Atomistic Multiscale Modeling and Simulation (FAMMS-2018) was held. Staff of the international laboratory SAMMA took part in it.

International Conference on Advanced Communications and Computation (INFOCOMP 2018)
In July, the eighth conference of series International Conference on Advanced Communications and Computation (INFOCOMP) was held. The laboratory fellow Vsevolod Nikolskiy made there a report.

Lecture by professor Nikolay Priezjev on wetting properties of structured surfaces explored by MD simulations
On Friday, June 8, seminar "Supercomputer and Multiscale Modelling of Condensed Phase and Biological Systems" was held. Professor Nikolay Piezjev gave a talk on investigation of wetting properties of of structured interfaces in 2 parts.

Lecture on Atomistic Mechanism of the Constitutive Activation of PDGFRA Via Its Transmembrane Domain
On Tuesday, May 15, seminar "Supercomputer and Multiscale Modelling of Condensed Phase and Biological Systems" was held. A. Polyansky from IBCh RAS gave a talk "Atomistic mechanism of the constitutive activation of PDGFRA via its transmembrane domain". The result of this study was the molecular model of PDGFRa receptor activation, and the role of its oncogenic mutant form have been revealed. On the second part of the seminar students of SAMMA Laboratory reported on their projects.
Database clarifies bottom-up design of cement
An international team of scientists led by EPFL Lausanne, ETH Zurich and Rice University has created a database of molecular dynamics models that simulate the properties of cement in all its varieties.
