The large gap between the theory and practice of applying geometric computation in an area as large as molecular biology can only be bridged by bringing people together so that the problem solvers can begin to understand the favorite molecules of the biochemists and the problem posers can begin to understand the favorite methods of the computational geometers.

This BioGeometry workshop, organized by the NSF-funded BioGeometry group at Duke, UNC Chapel Hill, Stanford, and NC A&T, seeks to do that by offering tutorials, talks, and interaction on the problems and solutions in molecular structural biology and proteomics.

The BioGeometry group has regular progress meetings, which it occasionally organizes in conjunction with a larger event. A previous meeting was organized in conjunction with the Triangle Biophysics Symposium to reach out to and learn from biochemistry and biophysics; in this meeting we hope to reach out to and learn from the computational geometry community.
