Job Locations US-MA-Cambridge
ID 2020-1046 Category Research - Chemistry Type Regular Full-Time
Overview
Black Diamond Therapeutics is a precision oncology medicine company
pioneering the discovery and development of small molecule, tumor-agnostic
therapies. Black Diamond targets undrugged mutations in patients with
genetically defined cancers for whom limited treatment options currently
exist. Black Diamond is built upon a deep understanding of cancer genetics,
protein structure and function, and medicinal chemistry. The Company’s
proprietary technology platform, Mutation-Allostery-Pharmacology, or MAP,
platform, is designed to allow Black Diamond to analyze population-level
genetic sequencing data to identify oncogenic mutations that promote cancer
across tumor types, group these mutations into families and develop a
single small molecule therapy in a tumor-agnostic manner that targets a
specific family of mutations.
The Discovery Team at Black Diamond Therapeutics is looking for a creative
and self-motivated scientist with broad experience to apply her/his
expertise and knowledge in the art of computational chemistry to drug
discovery programs. Reporting to the Director of Computational Chemistry,
and based in our office in Cambridge, USA, the right candidate will support
projects across all stages of discovery from early target selection through
to development candidate nomination. She/he will interact and collaborate
cross-functionally with scientists across the drug discovery organization.
Responsibilities
Apply computational techniques to advance projects at all phases of drug
discovery, from target validation and hit generation to lead optimization
and candidate selection
Collaborate with discovery chemists and bioinformaticians to maximize
computational impact on structure-, ligand-, and property-based design of
selective molecules targeting allosteric mutant proteins
Contribute, assist, and advise in the design, evaluation, and
prioritization of new analogues for medicinal chemistry projects.
Build and drive computational strategies to guide the design of small
molecules with improved potency, selectivity, and ADME properties
Develop testable hypotheses and deliver computational tools for predicting
mutant selectivity, ADME, and in vivo pharmacokinetics.
Propose and develop new modeling approaches to enhance existing workflows.
Develop and enhance the cheminformatics and database systems at Black
Diamond.
