Computational Drug Intern information

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Computational Drug Intern, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Computational Drug Intern, you need a solid background in chemistry, biology, and computational modeling, usually supported by coursework in bioinformatics, cheminformatics, or related fields. Familiarity with molecular modeling software (such as Schrödinger or AutoDock), programming languages like Python or R, and data analysis platforms is typically required. Attention to detail, problem-solving skills, and the ability to communicate complex findings clearly are valuable soft skills. These competencies are crucial for effectively contributing to drug discovery projects and collaborating within multidisciplinary research teams.

What are some common challenges faced by a Computational Drug Intern, and how can they be addressed?

Computational Drug Interns often encounter challenges such as interpreting complex biological data, staying updated with new computational tools, and bridging the gap between theoretical modeling and practical drug discovery. To address these issues, interns should actively seek guidance from mentors, participate in team discussions, and make use of available training resources. Collaborating closely with both computational scientists and experimental teams can also help interns gain a well-rounded perspective and overcome technical hurdles.

What does a Computational Drug Intern do?

A Computational Drug Intern assists in the drug discovery process by applying computer-based techniques to analyze biological data and predict how potential drug molecules will interact with biological targets. Their responsibilities typically include running simulations, processing large datasets, and using software tools to model molecular structures. They often collaborate with scientists and researchers to interpret results and guide experimental efforts. This internship provides hands-on experience in fields such as cheminformatics, bioinformatics, and molecular modeling.

Job description

The Protein Modeling and Simulation team within Dassault Systèmes BIOVIA develops and validates scientific modeling, simulation, and design methods for our life sciences customers. As an intern on the team, you will have access to our advanced modeling and machine learning algorithms and state of the art visualization, and use the BIOVIA Discovery Studio suite with Pipeline Pilot for the development of novel applications.
You will contribute to cutting-edge research at the intersection of computational biology, machine learning, and drug discovery, working alongside a team of scientists to develop and validate novel methods for the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform. As part of the development process, you will work with the Quality Assurance team to ensure automated test coverage of new functionality. Additionally, you will participate in discussions with Product Management and customer-facing teams on product direction and new features. Areas of interest for potential projects include but are not limited to the following:
  • Protein and biologics modeling and design pipelines using ML models
  • Application of machine learning and statistical modeling to MD simulations e.g. Markov processes, end-to-end differentiable models, etc.
  • Structure-based drug design applications: binding pocket prediction, molecular docking (energy scoring, ML models, etc.)
  • Antibody developability assessment using computational tools for properties such as viscosity, aggregation propensity, and stability

  • Actively enrolled in a Master's Degree or PhD program with a focus on computational chemistry, structural biology, computational biology or a related field
  • Previous software development experience
  • Proficient in a programming language such as Python, C++, or Java
  • Excellent communication skills in English, both verbally and in writing
  • Ability to work in a collaborative team
  • Attention to detail and scientific curiosity
  • Ability to work onsite for the duration of the internship on a hybrid schedule
