Laboratory and Job Overview:
The Intelligent Molecular Discovery Laboratory (iMDLab https://imdlab) is dedicated to the development of novel computational and artificial intelligence (AI) approaches and their application to rational drug design and discovery. Particularly we are interested in combining data science such as big data curation stateoftheart AI techniques including large language models (LLM) and multiomics studies (cheminformatics genomics etc. to develop more efficacious but less toxic for personalized cancer treatment. As an interdisciplinary laboratory we have been collaborating with experts across the globe in chemistry biology pharmacology and clinical trials to translate our laboratory discoveries to bedside applications and save many patients lives. We have been issued with more than 15 US/international patents and our studentdriven projects have advanced to Phase II clinical trials with publications on Cell Nature and Science.
As a student in our laboratory you will learn about the underlying mechanisms of cancer development progression and metastasis. You will also learn how to develop effective therapies to treat cancer (and other diseases) through integrated efforts of computational modeling structure prediction medicinal synthesis and highthroughput screening. Especially you will learn how to combine the latest AI techniques and experimental studies to develop personalized therapeutic strategies for individual patients.
Duties and Responsibilities:
- Learn the latest technologies for drug discovery and development such as molecular modeling ML/AI medicinal synthesis and highthroughput screening.
- Work with the PI/mentor and other team members to develop your MS/PhD thesis conduct necessary experiments and execute your projects.
