Ersilia’s current focus is to speed up drug discovery for diseases like malaria, tuberculosis, AMR or schistosomiasis.

What are we looking for?

This project focuses on developing AI/ML models for antimicrobial drug discovery. The postdoctoral researcher will be leading the development of

a) Bioactivity prediction models for key pathogens of Global Health concern and

b) Generative AI modeling to expand the known chemical space for antiinfectives.

Following Ersilia’s open source mandate, all models and data from this project will be publicly available and deployed through a unified web application framework, designed to serve researchers globally, especially those with limited access to advanced computational resources.

This position is supported by the PlanGeneración Conocimiento 2024 from the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation.
