The 2007 Welch Conference is-sOTUlÎreifeto, provide a broad perspective on current state-of-the-art m e t h ^ p j c ^ ' ^ i ^ l ^ l ^ ^ ^ j t r a l to chemical and biological behavior. The two-day c p i ^ r ^ ^ ^ p é S i ^ ^ s i o n s broadly covering the following topics: V i s u a l i z ^ n i | ^ f e ^ ^ ^ | | ^ m p u t a t i o n for Complexity, Macromolecular Function, Mnà^FroFrÎfÔeliétt^ The conference brings together 18 of the woria^^éfafcaj^BîHi^cientists in the areas covered. These areas include m i c r o s c c î p ^ p ^ | a ^ @ p microfluidics, single-molecule spectroscopy, protein folding anaHn^gg^j?5lbiological assemblies, molecular and systems biology, and consciousnefi§Md quantum mechanics of the brain
