PhRMA Foundation 2023: Postdoctoral Fellowship - Drug Discovery Targets and Pathway

N. Kitamura on behafh J.Galligan's Lab (Pharmacology and Toxicology)
K. Rahman on behafh H. Li's Lab (Pharmacology and Toxicology)

Only one postdoctoral applicant per lab may apply for this award.

Successful drug discovery involves the innovative application and integration of multiple scientific disciplines to create efficacious, safe, and differentiated treatment options for patients. The PhRMA Foundation seeks to fund novel early-stage, exploratory drug discovery research with the potential for translation to humans, including biological validation of potential drug targets, signaling pathways, or mechanisms of disease.  

Research topics could include, but are not limited to:   

• Genomics and Proteomics  
• Cellular and Molecular Biology  
• Design and Generation of Pharmacological Tools   
• In Vitro and/or In Vivo Pharmacology  
• Protein Biochemistry  
• Molecular Modelling  
• Structural Biology  
• Cell Imaging  
• Single Cell Analysis  
• Artificial Intelligence and Computational Approaches  

Projects that focus exclusively on single aspects such as identification of and development of assays for single targets, chemical probes, biomarkers, chemical library screening, or diagnostics will not be considered for review. Project aims should have a high likelihood of completion in the award timeframe
