Priaxon is an emerging pharmaceutical company building a pipeline of novel drug candidates in different therapeutic fields, but mainly focusing on protein-protein interactions in oncology and other diseases. The goal is to discover and develop candidates for validated but hard-to-drug targets using two orthogonal drug discovery platforms.
 
Skills:
  • Ph.D. in Chemoinformatics, Computational Chemistry/Biology, Bioinformatics, or related field
  • skills and expertise in developing and applying molecular modelling and chemoinformatics methods (especially structure-based drug design, virtual screening, protein-ligand interactions, protein modelling, similarity searches, and chemical descriptors)
  • sound knowledge of (medicinal) chemistry and drug discovery
  • very good programming skills and experience in software development
  • you should be reliable, creative, highly motivated and enjoy working in an interdisciplinary team strongly preferred
  • good knowledge of protein-protein interactions and small-molecule protein-protein interaction modulators
  • basic knowledge of bioinformatics
