Work Detail

・Advancing drug discovery projects by utilizing computational science technology to identify hit compounds that act on target molecules and streamline the development of lead compounds from hits. ・Developing and applying a unique SBDD methodology that combines experimental data with internal and external computational science technology (including molecular dynamics simulation and machine learning). ・Collaborating with experimental researchers to develop and apply methods that contribute to the rationalization of drug discovery processes for undruggable target molecules and various modalities (peptides, antibodies, functional molecules, etc.).

Ideal Profile

In addition to empathy for our corporate philosophy of hhc (Human Health Care), we are seeking individuals who possess the following four qualities: ・Awareness of Ownership/Ability to Grasp Situations Someone who has persevered despite difficulties and consistently kept abreast of relevant circumstances and environmental changes ・Ability to Act Someone who has taken the initiative and achieved results beyond expectations, and someone who has persevered despite difficulties ・Logical Thinking Someone who has raised fundamental concerns and questions without being bound by the status quo, and someone who has ingeniously proposed new ideas ・Communication Skills Someone who has listened carefully to what others say, understood their true meaning, and responded accordingly, and who can clearly and concisely express their own thoughts

What we especially look for in a PhD or postdoctoral fellow

During your doctoral research activities, you will likely go through a lot of trial and error before your research produces the results you desire. In addition to the four elements mentioned above, we hope that all doctoral students will also possess the ability to not give up after one or two tries, and the determination to see things through to the end, even if those around you do not understand at first. We also hope that you will contribute to drug discovery and healthcare with this spirit of GRIT.
