Research associate, Post-doctoral fellow and PhD student positions open at the IRB Barcelona (ES)

The Patrick Aloy lab (IRB Barcelona) believes that AI has the potential to transform drug discovery, as it is reshaping other areas of science and technology. However, to enable systems pharmacology, we need to blend biology and chemistry, and format it in a way that is amenable for modern machine learning. Small molecule bioactivity descriptors (Duran-Frigola et al. Nat Biotechnol 2020; Bertoni et al. Nat Commun 2021) and biological embeddings (Fernández-Torras et al. Nat Commun 2022) may help generalize this approach, smoothing the future transition from precision to personalized medicine. Indeed, we are now working on signature-based generative models where, instead of looking for the most suitable approved drug to treat a patient, we will design specific drugs for each molecular profile.

Please, find below three offers to work in my lab as Research Associate (i.e. senior researchers with an open contract), Postdoctoral Fellow and Research Assistant.

Group leaders positions open at the Imagine institute, INSERM Paris (FR)

 Imagine Call for Group Leaders 

Institut Imagine (Institute for Genetic Diseases) is inviting applications for group leader positions in multiple fields corresponding to already existing integrated clinical and scientific programs. Applications should be submitted to the Imagine Executive Committee by December 16th, 2022. Imagine Scientific Advisory Board interviews will then be scheduled in February 2023. 

Why join Institut Imagine? 

Institut Imagine, on the Necker Sick Children Hospital campus in Paris, is an interdisciplinary biomedical research centre, providing excellent core facilities for genomics, cell imaging, and bioinformatics together with creating animal models of human disease (mice, Zebrafish, and Drosophila). Additionally, Imagine strongly emphasizes translational aspects and innovative therapeutic options, including gene therapies. Imagine, supported by a private Foundation, is affiliated with Université Paris Cité, INSERM (French national institute for medical research) and the greater Paris Public Hospitals Group (Assistance Publique-Hôpitaux de Paris).
