Moving to pastures new, but still in the same field Part IV

Following on from my previous post on the topic, I will shortly be leaving Nxera Pharma (Sosei Heptares as was).

The last five years at Nxera have passed quickly. I've gone from "what is this GPCR you speak of?" to providing tools and resources to support structure-based GPCR drug discovery, and indeed doing it myself. I'll miss working with my colleagues in CompChem and throughout Nxera, but I'm leaving in the knowledge that the Cheminformatics line is in very capable hands.

Which brings me to my next move...

I am honoured and super excited to take up the role of Chemical Biology Resources Team Leader at the EBI, leading the team responsible for ChEMBL, SureChEMBL, UniChem and ChEBI. There are some big shoes to fill, but I can't wait to start working with the fantastic team behind these resources. The start date is early February, so wish me luck!
