Prof Ruhong Zhou from the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center discusses some of his recent molecular modeling work on nanotoxicity with IBM Blue Gene supercomputer. He shows that carbon-based nanoparticles (carbon nanotubes, graphene nanosheets, and fullerenes) can interact and disrupt the structures and functions of many important proteins.

The lecture is free and open to all. Seating is on a first-come, first-served basis.
