Cambridge Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom CK Group Full time

We have an exceptional opportunity for an experienced computational chemist and drug hunter to lead the Computational Chemistry team at Nxera Pharma (formerly Sosei Heptares).

This is an exciting position, leveraging the NxWave platform to lead application of computational approaches in drug discovery projects and develop novel, computational methodology, for wider utility.

COMPANY:

Nxera Pharma is a technology powered biopharma company, in pursuit of new specialty medicines to improve the lives of patients with unmet needs in Japan and globally, focused on therapeutic areas in inflammation diseases, neurology and immunology.

In addition to several products being commercialized in Japan, they are advancing an extensive pipeline of over 30 active programs from discovery through to late clinical stage internally and in partnership with leading pharma and biotech companies including Lilly, GSK, AbbVie, Verily, Neurocrine, Takeda, Genentech/Roche, Pfizer, Boehringer Ingelheim, Medicxi, Aditum Bio.

This pipeline is focused on addressing major unmet needs in some of the fastest-growing areas of medicine across CNS, GI and immunology, metabolic disorders and rare diseases, and leverages the power of their unique and industry leading GPCR-targeted structure-based drug discovery “NxWave” platform to provide a sustainable source of best- or first-in-class candidates.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

This is an influential leadership post in a highly collaborative environment. The successful applicant will manage a team of computational chemists supporting a diverse portfolio of internal and partnered projects.
