Talentmark are recruiting for a Cheminformatics Researcher to join a company in the pharmaceutical industry on a contract basis for 12-months. Salary: £41.09 phr to £54.80 phr PAYE Cheminformatics Researcher Role: Develop and optimise molecular representations for lipids involved in targeted lipid nanoparticles (tLNPs). Analyse lipid structures using cheminformatics workflows, AI/ML methods, and public/internal datasets. Generate and refine virtual lipid libraries using chemical intuition, molecular modelling, and reaction-based enumeration strategies. Build and validate predictive models linking lipid structure descriptors to formulation and in-vivo outcomes. Design workflows for diversity selection and prioritisation of lipids for synthesis and chemical space exploration.Your Background: PhD in Cheminformatics, Computational Chemistry, or a related scientific discipline with relevant industry or research experience. Strong experience applying cheminformatics and AI/ML techniques to lipid analysis and molecular design. Proven scientific programming capability, particularly with Python. Understanding of lipid nanoparticle formulation, synthesis, purification challenges, and structure-property relationships would be advantageous.
