Collaborative Drug Discovery (CDD) is recruiting a highly self motivated, diligent college student to assist in scientific QA testing for a database to archive, mine, and collaborate around drug data for humanitarian and commercial applications. It is an opportunity to learn the current, cutting-edge technology in the field of bio-cheminformatics while working primarily from home. Weekly group meetings in the Bay Area will provide a greater understanding of the full QA process involved in product development. You will see how your contribution is reflected in the database. Additional duties may include content support and occasional customer interactions with leading scientific researchers. Applicants should have a strong scientific background, preferably having taken organic chemistry and/or molecular biology and must be proficient with MS Office. Please have any applicants send me an email describing why they would be good for the position or other supporting information. Thank you, Barry A. Bunin PhD Collaborative Drug Discovery, Inc.

CDD, Inc. currently helps leading researchers at UCSF, Stanford, UCLA, Burnham Institute, and St. Jude Children's Research Hospital to archive, mine, and (selectively) collaborate around drug discovery data. The web-based database is being used to help develop new treatments in multiple therapeutic areas including Malaria, Chagas Disease, and African Sleeping Sickness. The CDD database contains assays, individual assay runs, and molecular structures with hundred of thousands of bioassay data-points from leading academic researchers. The technology uses automated data "mappers and slurpers=81" to automatically upload the assay data that researchers typically have in Excel=81 and sdfile formats. Their own experimental data is the foundation for building truly engaged communities of researchers. CDD has developed a new type of scalable web-based architecture where the broad range of heterogeneous low-throughput and high-throughput enzyme, cell, and animal data can be both archived and then very selectively shared among colleagues or even openly shared on the internet if desired. The CDD database technologies are designed to provide refined access control for private versus public access at the individual experimental data level. Thus the same technology should be equally applicable to commercial targets too. After providing direct collaborations with the top ~100 researchers studying infectious disease, broader community-generating strategies will be organically nurtured as a function of both existing and new collaborations. ---------------------------------------------------------------- The above message does not necessarily represent the views or opinions of MCBcDNA, mcbUSA, the MCB Department, or UC Berkeley.
