PhD Position on Multi-scale Modeling of Drug/MOF (Metal-Organic-Framework) Interaction

within a collaboration between INOMAR in HCM City and the Key Laboratory for multi-scale modeling in Hanoi

The Center for Innovative Materials and Architecture (INOMAR,

http://inomar.edu.vn

) is one of leading international research laboratories in Metal - Organic Framework in Vietnam. Being affiliated with the Vietnam National University in HoChiMinh City (VNU-HCM), it conducts basic and applied cutting-edge research on nano-(bio) structured materials with international standard. Publications from the lab include Angewandte Chemie and J. Am. Chem. Soc. INOMAR promotes high-quality postgraduate programs through global mentoring.

The Key Laboratory for Multiscale Simulations for Complex System

at the VNU University of Science in Hanoi is a new initiative between VNU-Hanoi and the

Computational Biomedicine Institute

in FZ-Julich, Germany. It fosters cutting-edge computational research in neurobiology and molecular medicine.

Within a novel collaboration with the Key Laboratory, the INOMAR is now starting an exciting research project in computational biomaterials for medical applications. Specifically, it recruits a talented PhD student for multi-scale modelling design of ligand/MOF (Metal-Organic Framework) complexes for drug delivery in brain diseases, in close collaboration with the experimental scientist from INOMAR. The successful applicant will perform his/her PhD thesis under joint supervision by professors from the KeyLab and INOMAR. He/she will be given the possibility to visit the Computational Biomedicine Institute in  FZ-Julich,, equipped with one of the largest High-Performance Computer facilities in the EU.
