CCL: Computational methods employed in drug discovery and generic drug development.

["elite 158" <elite158__gmail.com>]

 Dear CCLers, 

Greetings and best wishes. 

I am very keen to shape
 my career as a researcher in
 molecular modeling area applied to pharmaceutical drug discovery and
 development through computational methods. 

My educational
 background (Bachelor in Pharmaceutical Sciences, India) helped me understand
 subjects like medicinal chemistry, life
 sciences (from the pharmacology point of view), and also basics of
 physical pharmacy (solid state, thermodynamics etc). 

I have a
 decent working knowledge in the implementation of computational drug
 discovery methodologies like - Denovo, Structure based, Pharmacophore
 and QSAR and I now seek to understand the computational methodologies
 employed in drug development methodologies like - Virtual polymorph
 screening and prediction, Analysis of powder X-ray diffraction data,
 Morphology control, (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient)-excipient
 interactions, Simulation of delivery systems etc. Therefore I intend to
 pursue a Masters / PhD program targeted towards these areas in
 pharmaceutical domain. 

Soon after, as a next step after Masters / PhD, I
 would also like to seek education in the applications of nanotechnology
 in drug design and delivery.

I have been doing a lot of homework
 trying to identify Universities or Research groups which have such programs. I
 would like
 to request you to please help me identify any such programs /
 professors working in this combined area across the globe if you know
 of any. 

Any help is highly appreciated.

With warm
 regards,
Elite158.
