Hi all,
Please respond to this topic even if the posted date becomes quite old. I am still looking for suggestions, and in future, it may help someone else too
Being a slightly off-topic question,
I do not know if it is appropriate to put you this mail through this forum, but as I do not have any other means I take this liberty to write to you all here.
I am Dilip and I happen to be an ex-employee of Accelrys, Bangalore.
I am very keen to shape my career as a researcher in molecular modeling area applied to pharmaceutical drug discovery and development through computational methods.
My educational background helped me understand subjects like medicinal chemistry, life sciences (from the pharmacology point of view), and also basics of physical pharmacy (solid state, thermodynamics etc).
I have a decent working knowledge in the implementation of computational drug discovery methodologies like - Denovo, Structure based, Pharmacophore and QSAR and I now seek to understand the computational methodologies employed in drug development methodologies like
- Virtual polymorph screening and prediction, Analysis of powder X-ray diffraction data, Morphology control, (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient)-excipient interactions, Simulation of delivery systems etc. Therefore I intend to pursue a masters / phd program targeted towards these areas in pharmaceutical domain.
As a next step after Masters / PhD, I would also like to seek education in applications of computational nanotechnology in drug design and delivery.
I have been doing a lot of homework trying to identify Universities which has such programs. I would like to request you to please help me identify any such programs / professors working in this combined area across the globe if you know of any.
I have received a couple of valid suggestions from our accelrys colleagues such as looking for publications in this area and identifying key people to communicate. But any help is highly appreciated.
With warm regards,
Dilip.
