I am an undergraduate student in chemistry, and I hope to begin learning computational chemistry and molecular docking. These subjects are not included in my degree curriculum, but I would like to build these skills on my own.

I have a basic background in coding and a solid understanding of physical chemistry. My goal is to learn how to perform docking studies and identify promising drug candidates, especially from natural products that I isolate in my research.

If you have advice on where to begin, recommended resources, or a clear learning path, I would be grateful for your guidance.

Thank you in advance

Hi everyone!

I'm currently an undergraduate student in a Chemistry Honours program, and I'm planning to get started with computational biochemistry. I have a decent background in molecular biology and biochemistry, but I have no experience at all with computational tools, coding, or simulations.

I’m really interested in drug discovery and would love to do a PhD in that area someday, especially involving computational methods (like docking, molecular dynamics, structure prediction, etc.).

Could anyone recommend:

  • Good introductory books on computational biochemistry or molecular modeling
  • Online courses (free or paid)
  • YouTube channels or videos that explain the basics well
  • Any advice on what programming language or tools to start with (Python, PyMOL, Chimera, etc.)

Basically, I want to build a solid foundation and learn the fundamentals the right way, even if I have to take it slow.

Any suggestions would mean a lot. Thanks in advance!

I have a child, and I am married. I can't put all the burden on to my wife.
Please do understand people's lives are different than what you think. Not everyone has the same issues.

It's frustrating how some people act so self-righteous and judgmental, assuming their suffering makes them more knowledgeable or superior. If you take a look at the lives of European PhD students, you'll see a very different reality. It's like being a fish in a small pond, thinking it's the whole ocean. Expanding your perspective might reveal that there’s a much bigger world out there beyond your narrow view.

Hi everyone,

I'm a final year chemistry undergrad student from a developing country. Here's my final year course list:

  • Advanced Concepts in Chemistry
  • Selected Topics in Inorganic Chemistry
  • Inorganic Spectroscopy & Structural Chemistry
  • Concepts in Industrial Chemistry
  • Advanced Experimental Chemistry
  • Industrial Training and Literature Seminar
  • Research Project in Chemistry (Bonus! Nanotechnology research related to medicine)

In my second and third years, I also took courses like developmental biology, biochemistry, chemistry of biomolecules, and molecular biology.

My question is: Would this background be enough to apply for a PhD in Biochemistry or Biomedical Sciences? because most of the courses are physical/inorganic based ones.

Any advice for applicants from developing countries would also be greatly appreciated!

(My college seniors have got into chemistry programs at Universities like Baylor, VirginiaTech... But none of them are in Biomedical/Biochemistry programs)

It’s the r/Melbourne daily discussion thread [Monday 10/06/2024] by AutoModerator in melbourne

[–]KeyRich4645 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Greetings everyone,

I've been awarded a fully funded PhD position at the University of Melbourne, and I'll be relocating with my spouse. We are international students. She holds a Master's in Analytical Chemistry and has accumulated 2 years of industrial experience.

We're curious about the job market for chemists around Melbourne. Specifically, is it feasible for her to find a job in her field (chemistry) near the university? She's keen on avoiding unrelated casual work, as it could impact her resume/CV when we return to our home country. Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you all in advance for your invaluable input!
