We offer a 4-year-long contract for a PhD Thesis project at “Computational Chemical Biology Group” at the CIB Margarita Salas of the CSIC in Madrid (Spain).
Project: Understanding molecular mechanisms of immunomodulation and bacterial resistance using computational chemistry approaches (PID2023-152271NB-I00).
We are devoted to the study of the molecular mechanisms involved in the Toll-like receptors functionality, and in the recognition by PAMPs, such as natural lipopolysaccharides and lipopeptides, with special focus in the design and identification of new compounds able to modulate the TLRs behaviour with possible therapeutic applications. We combine computational methodologies at different resolution scales, docking, and all-atom and coarse-grained MD simulations.
Previous experience in multiscale simulation, biophysics techniques and/or drug design will be considered.
