FYI ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Guillaume Poncet-Montange <gponcet(a)orthogontherapeutics.com> Date: Tue, May 30, 2017 at 2:42 PM Subject: Biophysicist at Orthogon Therapeutics To: bshoichet(a)gmail.com Cc: Ali Munawar <amunawar(a)orthogontherapeutics.com> Hi Brian (Ccied Ali Munawar, CEO of OrthogonTherapeutics), I hope you are doing well. Cindy and I have moved from Houston to Boston a year ago and we are now working in 2 different biotechs. I am leading the structural biology group at Orthogon Therapeutics,LLC. I am contacting you because we are looking for a biophysicist (entry level) with a strong knowledge in measuring fragment affinities by ITC. We are a FBDD start-up and this person should have a biochemistry background and ideally some computational chemistry skills. I thought that you may have some candidates in mind who could be a good fit. I have attached the job posting. Looking forward to hearing back from you, Best, Guillaume Guillaume Poncet-Montange, Pharm.D., Ph.D. Senior Scientist, Orthogon Therapeutics, LLC 960 Turnpike Street, Unit 10, Canton, MA 02021 Office: (339)-502-9108 <(339)%20502-9108> Cell: (415)-630-0492 <(415)%20630-0492> email: gponcet(a)orthogontherapeutics.com -- Brian Shoichet, Professor, UCSF *http://www.bkslab.org/contact.php <http://www.bkslab.org/contact.php>*
