I wanted to let you know that our Modeling Group at Gilead has an opening currently. We are a group of 7 modelers (one just left last week – hence the open position), and we work closely with the other two groups (crystallography and informatics) in the Department of Structural Chemistry. We are parallel with the Medicinal Chemistry and Biology departments, and work closely with them on project teams. Modelers are involved from the target conception stage all the way to delivering a development candidate, and also have opportunities to be Core Team members or even to lead a project. Please feel free to pass this information on to your group, or to recommend specific people in your lab. My email isVickie.tsui(a)gilead.com<mailto:Vickie.tsui@gilead.com>, and my number is 650-534-8426. Thank you very much - I hope you take care and stay healthy. Best Regards, Vickie Vickie Tsui, Ph.D. Senior Director, Structural Chemistry Gilead Sciences, Inc. (650)653-9447

I hope you are well and staying safe during these crazy times. One of our last interactions I remember was taking your CADD mini-course. We just had a candidate interview a few weeks ago who was surprised that a “biologist” would have ever heard of free energy perturbations :) After leaving Jim Wells' lab at UCSF, I ended up taking a postdoc position with Sue Lindquist at the Whitehead Institute up until she tragically passed away in late 2016. I was planning to continue my postdoc with Stuart Schreiber, but once I found out about a new company he was forming, I decided to jump in as employee #6. Jnana is focused on identifying small-molecule therapeutics targeting the SLC family of metabolite transporters for a range of therapeutic indications, including inborn errors of metabolism, autoimmune disease, and neurological disease. I co-invented a novel ligand discovery technology here at Jnana that we call RAPID, which was inspired by Ben Cravatt’s work with covalent fragment screening in live cells as well as my experiences with Tethering in Jim’s lab. It would be really fun to tell you a bit about it at some point if you were interested. I am writing to let you know that we have two job openings - one in cheminformatics and another in computational modeling (postings here<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.jnanatx.com_join-2…>). I’ve tried and failed miserably in the past to recruit my old friends from the Bay Area to come out to the East Coast! I wonder if you could recommend any brave souls that might want to make the journey. All the best, Justin
