Free energy methods for pharmaceutical drug discovery
We had a great last year with four graduate students joining the lab and four graduating! Welcome Hannah, Martin, Chris and Tran! Congratulations to Guilherme, Camilla, Caitlin and Nathan!
We’ve had a busy year, with lots of significant accomplishments and new directions, as well as several new Ph.D.’s!
Graduations:
Interested in developing and applying new methods relating to binding free energy calculations, and in advancing predictive modeling relating to pharmaceutical drug discovery? I seek a postdoctoral candidate who will focus on methods for and applications of free energy calculations and structure-based design methods in early stage drug discovery projects. Additionally, the candidate will likely get involved with the SAMPL series of blind challenges, helping to drive progress in the field by facilitating comparisons of the latest methods on cutting-edge datasets in blind challenges we help design.

There’s lots of great news since my last update in April.
Lab news and events:
We’re very excited about the Open Force Field Initiative, a new effort to help build better force fields and improve the infrastructure for developing them. And we’re especially excited that a pharmaceutical industry consortium has come together to help fund and guide this work. Check out our announcement for more details!
If you’d like to know more about our longer-term plans, check out graduate student Caitlin Bannan’s upcoming BioExcel Webinar Oct. [More…]
The Open Force Field Consortium (OpenFF, openforcefield.org) and XtalPi, Inc. (xtalpi.com) seeks a Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellow to perform cutting-edge research in a unique academic-industrial joint effort.
OpenFF is an academic collaboration (based at UC Irvine / UC Davis / UC San Diego / Univ. Colorado Boulder / Sloan Kettering Institute in New York) that seeks to develop next-generation molecular mechanics force fields and associated parameterization software and data infrastructure. [More…]
