Two more job postings for comp chemists, via UCSF alum https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.jnanatx.com_job-2Do... https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.jnanatx.com_job-2Do... — Matt Begin forwarded message: From: Justin Rettenmaier <jrettenmaier@jnanatx.com<mailto:jrettenmaier@jnanatx.com>> Subject: Jnana Therapeutics Date: October 13, 2020 at 2:12:57 PM PDT To: "matt.jacobson@ucsf.edu<mailto:matt.jacobson@ucsf.edu>" <matt.jacobson@ucsf.edu<mailto:matt.jacobson@ucsf.edu>> Hi Matt, It’s been quite some time since I’ve seen you! 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-2D...>). 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
