Position To: shoichet(a)cgl.ucsf.edu <shoichet(a)cgl.ucsf.edu> Hi Brian, I hope you are doing well. Since September I have been heading the Computation group at EoCys Therapeutics, a stealth biotech start-up based in Cambridge, MA. We are funded with seed funding of $30 MM from Atlas Ventures and Access Biotechnology funds. We are 15-person company seeking to grow in the coming year to build our technology platform and the pipeline. Our technology platform comprises ultra-deep proteomics, bioinformatics, structural informatics, and machine learning. All our drug discovery targets are structurally enabled, and it plays a major part in our design process. I will appreciate you passing the job description to members of your group as well as other comp. chem. groups at UCSF. Thanks for your help in this effort. Best, Suresh -------------------------------------------------------------- Suresh B Singh Senior Vice President Computational Science & Structural Biology EoCys Therapeutics suresh.singh(a)eocystx.com 732-491-7470 -- Brian Shoichet, Professor, UCSF latest science from the lab: *http://www.bkslab.org/ <http://www.bkslab.org/contact.php>*

I’m writing to you because I am interested in recruiting computationally inclined post-doctoral students that are keen to apply their skills in the structural biology and nanoscience areas. I’m starting up a new computational electron microscopy (EM) lab at the National Institutes of Health at the Center for Structural Biology (CSB), Frederick, MD: > > https://ccr.cancer.gov/staff-directory/hans-elmlund <https://ccr.cancer.gov/staff-directory/hans-elmlund> > > My lab will continue to develop algorithms for liquid cell EM of nanocrystals and design tools for stream single-particle cryo-EM analysis in real time as well as pursuing computational methods development for integrative structural biology. > > Broadly, research within the CSB seeks to either directly advance our understanding of cancer mechanisms or to develop structural methodologies that may later be applied to answer cancer-related questions. A core objective is to develop and apply new tools for molecular characterization using novel biophysical and biochemical techniques including cryo-EM, NMR, X-ray diffraction and scattering methods. > > The cryo-EM kit that we currently have in-place (and running) at the Frederick site: > > Titan G4 with pre and post GIF Falcon 4 (to be upgraded to 4i early spring), Selectris filter > Arctica with BioQuantum and K3 > Aquilos II (with online fluorescent scope to be mounted 2022) > 120 kV screening instrument > Leicabot > 2 x Vitrobots > Chameleon > Extensive HPC resources for real time streaming of data > > If you could please forward my contact details to prospective fellows, I would greatly appreciate it and I’m happy to provide additional information. The NIH just declared that non-mission critical travel is now allowed (subject to approval) so I hope we can meet in person soon. > > With best regards > > -- > HANS ELMLUND PhD > Senior Investigator > > National Institutes of Health > National Cancer Institute—Frederick Campus > 1050 Boyles St, Fredrick MD 21702 > United States of America > > T: +1(240)739-9079 > E: hans.elmlund(a)nih.gov <mailto:hans.elmlund@nih.gov> > simplecryoem.com <http://simplecryoem.com/>
