Job Description
Job Title: Lead Scientist Computational Toxicology
Job Location: London UK
Job Location Type: Hybrid
Job Contract Type: Fulltime
Job Seniority Level:
For over 100 years we have been driving change to defeat diabetes but we know that what got us here today is not necessarily what will make us successful in the future. We are now transforming our business and taking our expertise into new territories including obesity and rare blood and endocrine diseases.
Our story is one of incredible growth and success which has culminated in receiving many prestigious awards such as Best Places to Work and Vitality – Britain’s Healthiest Workplace.
The Position
In this role you will develop evaluate and implement computational models for toxicological risk assessment as well as build evaluate and optimize models to predict toxicological outcomes across multiple therapeutic modalities including small molecules and biologics
You will work closely with colleagues across the R&D organization to develop and implement computational models for toxicological risk assessment analyse and interpret complex toxicological data using advanced ML techniques and collaborate with crossfunctional teams to integrate computational toxicology into drug discovery and development processes. The role reports to the Senior Scientific Director of the Small Molecule Digital Chemistry (SMDC) department.
In this role you will:
Qualifications
We are searching for candidates with handson experience in developing maintaining and deploying proprietary global and local computational toxicology models in a corporate environment working knowledge of popular commercial insilico toxicity platforms data sources and tools as well as familiarity with regulatory requirements and guidelines related to safety assessment and toxicology.
The ideal candidate will have knowledge and experience in toxicology data analysis and modelling advanced computational modelling methods and pharmaceutical project support. Working knowledge of common toxicology data sources and analysis tools including AI/ML approaches and physicsbased predictive modelling is essential.
The candidate will be educated to Master’s (required) or PhD degree (strongly preferred) ideally within Toxicology Computational Chemistry Computational Biology Bioinformatics or related quantitative field.
They will present substantial level of relevant experience which includes:
Computational Drug Design (CDD) is the Novo Nordisk organization where we develop and apply state of the art capabilities in data science predictive modelling and AI/ML to enable both ligand and structurebased drug design. Scientists within CDD collaborate seamlessly with teams across the globe to invent better molecules faster. With an unbiased approach to drug modalities inhouse access to the newest screening techniques and worldclass experimentation we have a wealth of opportunities to impact our pipeline and save and improve patient lives. We work in multidisciplinary highly collaborative discovery teams both locally and across Novo Nordisk’s global network to invent novel medicines by applying advanced computational techniques and developing innovative computational methods. We engage in external collaborations to ensure access to innovative research and technology.
Small Molecule Digital Chemistry (SMDC) is dedicated to the research and development of small molecule therapeutics. Our role is twofold: support cuttingedge pharmaceutical research projects and develop innovative computational technologies in the digital chemistry field. To be successful we foster strong collaborations with Small Molecule Medicinal Chemistry within our Global Research and Technology (GRT) organization and colleagues across the Data Science and Innovation (DSI) organization. Our mission is to deliver in silico models cheminformatics tools and computational chemistry platforms to enable modeldriven small molecule drug design to benefit patients across the globe.
