THE ROLE
The Molecular Modeling and Drug Discovery Research Unit is coordinated by Dr. Marco De Vivo, who has extensive experience in computational and medicinal chemistry for drug discovery.
The De Vivo lab is a multicultural and multi-disciplinary group, where you will be working in close contact with both computational and experimental researchers in medicinal chemistry, biochemistry and pharmacology.
Good candidates are scientists with expertise in computational methodologies for structure-based drug design, like molecular docking and virtual screening methods and software, molecular dynamics and free energy perturbation calculations for drug design.
The research project is centered on developing and applying modeling and simulations (coupled to machine learning when possible) to characterize and design small molecu
