[Compbio-allhands] Comp Bio/Drug Discovery Internship opportunity at Novartis Emeryville
by Schnoes, Alexandra 21 Oct '11

21 Oct '11

Hello, This was circulated a bit ago but they are still looking. If you are interested please contact Eric Martin (below). I get the feeling they would love to take someone from UCSF. I know a little bit about the position, so if you have some basic questions you can shoot them to me too. Job description for Student Internship in Compuational Drug Discovery Most drug leads are discovered through experimental high-throughput screens, which cost about $1,000,000 and take 6-9 months. Efforts over many years to develop computational “in silico” screens have not resulted in sufficiently accurate models to provide a practical alternative. Recently, at Novartis, a protein family-based approach has produced models approximating experimental accuracy for the special cases of kinase and serine/cisteine protease enzyme families. These families include many pharmaceutically important drug targets. This 1-year internship involves learning to train and employ these models on new and existing drug discovery targets. The ideal candidate would understand the physical properties of organic compounds and proteins, and how they can interact, as well as familiarity with computer programming and running scientific calculations.

[Compbio-allhands] Friday Seminar: The Role of Conformational Dynamics of G-Protein Coupled Receptors in Drug Design
by JoAnne Williams 19 Oct '11

19 Oct '11

This seminar may be of interest to you: -------------------------------------------- *Date: Friday, October 21, 2011* *Time: 11:00a-12:00p* *Location: BH215* *Speaker: **Prof. Nagarajan Vaidehi* *Department of Immunology, Beckman Research Institute, City of Hope Cancer* *Research Center* *The Role of Conformational Dynamics of G-Protein Coupled* *Receptors in Drug Design* Abstract: The superfamily of membrane proteins known as G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs), mediate signal transduction in a wide array of different cell types. Drugs targeting GPCRs represent the core of modern medicine. Upon stimulation by a variety of signaling molecules (ranging from light to small molecules and large proteins), GPCRs trigger a diverse set of signaling pathways in the cell, by coupling to different intracellular proteins to transduce the signal. This functional diversity in signaling is achieved by the structural conformational dynamics of these receptors. In this talk, I will demonstrate that the combination of computational methods, X-ray crystallography, and fluorescence spectroscopy provides insight into the conformational ensemble sampled by GPCRs. Additionally, the effect of how the ligand binding leads to a shift in the relative population density in this ensemble will be discussed. An example of how structural insights gained from these fundamental biophysical techniques can be used to design drugs targeting a specific signaling pathway that is relevant in pancreatic cancer will be outlined. -- JoAnne Williams, Admin Analyst Shoichet & Jacobson Labs Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry University of California, San Francisco UCSF MC 2550 Byers Hall, Rm 508 1700 4th Street San Francisco, CA 94158-2517 tel: (415) 514-4261 or (415) 502-7050 email: *joanne(a)picasso.ucsf.ed <http://joanne@picasso.ucsf.edu/>u* * * * *

FYI --Hao -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Call for nominations for Postdoctoral Fellowships at Princeton Center for Theoretical Science Date: Fri, 12 Aug 2011 15:51:50 +0000 From: Charlene Borsack <cborsack(a)PRINCETON.EDU> Reply-To: Charlene Borsack <cborsack(a)PRINCETON.EDU> To: pcts_nominators(a)Princeton.EDU Dear Colleague, We are writing to encourage you to submit nominations for the Princeton Center for Theoretical Science Postdoctoral Fellowships. Center Postdoctoral Fellowships are the most prestigious postdoctoral positions offered in the theoretical sciences at Princeton. They are intended for early-career theoretical scientists, broadly construed, including the fields of astrophysics, biology, chemistry, geosciences, physics, and engineering. The nominees should be individuals with outstanding talent and accomplishment who are eager to broaden their scientific horizons. Fellows receive a three-year appointment in the Center fully supported by Center funds, an office in the Center facility, and have full freedom to develop their scientific interests with the support and mentoring of the resident senior Faculty Fellows. It is our intention that the Center experience will have a profound impact on the scientific development and future careers of the Fellows. *The deadline for receipt of the Postdoctoral nomination, reference letters, and supporting materials from the _nominee_, is _October 15, 2011,_ so it is important for you to submit your nomination /as soon as possible/ to give your candidate and their references time to complete their parts. ** * * * The nomination process is very simple: go to our website http://pcts.princeton.edu/pcts and submit the candidate's name, email address, and a nomination letter. The nominees will then be sent information necessary to complete their application and to submit letters for reference. The PCTS Faculty Fellows begin evaluation and invitation to interview on October 15, 2011. (The website will continue to accept late nominations and applications, but there can be no assurance they will be considered.) The mission of the Center is to foster interaction and collaboration between theorists across the natural sciences at Princeton to enhance research and education. We pursue this goal through our Center Postdoctoral Fellowships and our sponsorship of focused programs of study in frontier areas in theoretical science that cut across traditional disciplinary boundaries. A group of Senior Faculty Fellows, coming from a broad range of disciplines and departments, take active responsibility for guiding the intellectual life of the Center. Sincerely, Paul Steinhardt (Director) steinh(a)princeton.edu Igor Klebanov (Associate Director) klebanov(a)princeton.edu <mailto:klebanov@princeton.edu> Ravindra Bhatt (Acting Associate Director) ravin(a)princeton.edu <mailto:ravin@princeton.edu> /Note that Princeton University is an equal opportunity employer and complies with applicable EEO and affirmative action regulations./
