N
. Sukumar (Department of Chemistry and Center for Informatics https://chemistry.snu.edu.in/people/faculty/n-sukumar), and Sudeepto Bhattacharya (Department of Mathematics and Center for Informatics https://math.snu.edu.in/people/faculty/sudeepto-bhattacharya), School of Natural Sciences, Shiv Nadar University, Gautam Buddha Nagar, U.P. 201314.Project Synopsis:
This project aims at the exploration of chemical space from a network-centric perspective. We propose to investigate molecular similarity networks using different families of molecular descriptors and similarity measures. The application of various network measures to the design of diversity-oriented molecular libraries is a major goal of this project.
Objectives:
- Comparison of molecular networks constructed from a whole molecule and fragment-based, 2-D and 3-D similarity measures;
- Exploration of protein binding site similarity networks for predicting cross-reactivity of drugs;
- Comparison of network measures for molecular interaction, transformation and similarity networks.
Nature of work:
ab initio electronic structure computations; cheminformatics / statistical analysis; coding / scripting in Python, Java, R, C/C++ ; graphical / network analysis. The candidates will work in an interdisciplinary project, and will be required to interact with faculty, students and researchers across the Departments of Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics and the Center for Informatics.
How To Apply:
Eligible and interested candidates should send their application with a complete CV (having personal details, academic qualifications, research experience, publications, name, affiliation and email address of two referees). Also, send photocopies of mark sheets/testimonials/certificates, a recent passport size photograph, and other relevant documents as a PDF attachment via email (preferable) or hard copies by Speed Post to the below address.
