Asst Manager / Deputy Manager - Cheminformatics & Bioinformatics Scientist

Key Responsibilities

• Design and implement computational workflows for chemical, biological, and multi-omics data analysis.
• Apply cheminformatics techniques (virtual screening, molecular docking, QSAR, ADMET modeling) to support lead identification and optimization.
• Analyze next-generation sequencing (NGS), RNA-seq, proteomics, and single-cell datasets to identify biomarkers, pathways, and novel targets.
• Integrate chemical libraries with biological and clinical datasets for cross-domain insights.
• Understanding of protein-protein interaction, ADC and PDC development.
• Develop and apply machine learning/AI models for predictive drug discovery and biomarker discovery.
• Collaborate closely with medicinal chemists, molecular biologists, pharmacologists, and data scientists.
• Present findings through reports, visualizations, and presentations to internal and external stakeholders.
• DbMS

Skills:

• Strong knowledge of drug discovery, molecular biology, and systems biology.
• Proficiency in cheminformatics software (e.g., RDKit, Schrödinger, MOE, KNIME, Pipeline Pilot).
• Hands-on experience with bioinformatics platforms and tools (Bioconductor, GATK, Galaxy, Cell Ranger).
• Strong programming skills (Python, R, SQL, Bash); experience with ML/AI frameworks (TensorFlow, PyTorch, Scikit-learn).
• Familiarity with databases such as PubChem, ChEMBL, PDB, Ensembl, UniProt, and TCGA.
• Knowledge of DBMS (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB) for managing and querying large-scale biological and chemical datasets.
• Experience with HPC or cloud computing environments (AWS, GCP, or equivalent).
• Excellent communication skills and ability to work in cross-functional teams.

Note: The interview process will include a presentation, where candidates must demonstrate an AI/ML model for drug discovery from their past experience.
