Postdoctoral Position for Novel Therapeutic Drug Identification

4 weeks ago


Birmingham, United States The University of Alabama at Birmingham Full time
  • We are recruiting a self-motivated postdoctoral researcher to work on the funded project of identifying novel therapeutic drug candidates for target proteins involved in Alzheimer's disease.
  • The project aims to screen and identify the novel compounds, including endo- & exogenous small molecules and repositioned FDapproved drugs, with desired binding activity for protein targets, ability to activate relevant cellular responses, and synergy with other binding compounds for wanted cellular activities.
  • The identified top drug candidates will be further investigated with in vivo studies and dish-based clinical trials using iPSC technology for the therapeutic outcome studies.
  • We also investigate protein-protein interactions and small molecule-target protein interactions and how these are changed by disease-associated genetic variants to gain insights for the mechanisms of action in Alzheimer's disease.
  • Candidates should have strong molecular and cell biology and animal handling skills as evidenced by first-author publication(s) in quality peer-reviewed journals.
  • Candidate should be able to work with a high degree of independence and with good team spirit.
  • The candidate could gain additional computational biology training, if interested.
  • Interested candidates, please contact Dr. Yuhua Song, Professor of Biomedical Engineering at The University of Alabama at Birmingham by email: yhsong@uab.edu and include your CV and transcripts in the email.
