Hi everyone! I’m currently an Erasmus Mundus master’s student in Chemoinformatics, and I’m now planning my six-month internship, which will form the basis of my master’s thesis.
I’m aiming to pursue a PhD in medicinal chemistry, so I’m looking for a thesis project that is mainly computational (around 90% or more) but ideally includes some experimental validation. I’m not necessarily looking for a synthesis-heavy project, but I would be very interested in work that could include purchasing selected compounds and testing them to generate biological validation data.
I have about five years of experience in computational chemistry and drug design, including building AI/ML workflows and algorithms for research projects. I also have a solid publication record, adapt quickly to new software and research environments, and have several months of experience in organic synthesis.
I would really appreciate recommendations for academic labs, research groups, or industry teams working in computational medicinal chemistry, structure-based drug design, virtual screening, lead optimization, or related areas. If you know of groups that might be open to hosting a master’s thesis student, or people I could reasonably contact, I would be very grateful for any suggestions.
Thanks a lot.
