The DDU is a fully integrated “Biotech style” drug discovery organisation with cutting edge facilities (http://www.drugdiscovery.dundee.ac.uk). We are passionate about tackling unmet medical need. We have two areas of activity: drug discovery for globally important neglected and emerging infectious diseases (including TB, malaria, coronaviruses), that affect millions of people across the world every year and Innovative Targets across a variety of different diseases.
We work to BioPharma philosophy and standards, incorporating a dynamic, goal driven project management strategy based on Target Product Profiles and Compound Selection Criteria. Our team of 130 scientists, has extensive experience of all aspects of drug discovery gained within the BioPharma industry. Our exceptional skill set within a university enables us to work with major BioPharma and technology companies and world-class Life Sciences research partners, to improve how high-quality drug discovery is carried out for these diseases.
We are recruiting for a highly motivated and expert Computational Chemist PDRA to develop a platform for the analysis of Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRSs) as anti-infective targets. Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases are attractive drug targets but the understanding of the family as a target class is in its infancy.
