About the Department Computational Drug Design (CDD) is the Novo Nordisk organization where we develop and apply state of the art capabilities in data science, predictive modeling, and AI/ML to enable both ligand and structure-based drug design. Scientists within CDD collaborate seamlessly with teams across the globe to invent better molecules faster. With an unbiased approach to drug modalities, in-house access to the newest screening techniques, and world-class experimentation, we have a wealth of opportunities to impact our pipeline and save and improve patient lives. We work in multidisciplinary, highly collaborative discovery teams both locally and across Novo Nordisk's global network to invent novel medicines by applying advanced computational techniques and developing innovative computational methods. We engage in external collaborations to ensure access to innovative research and technology. Small Molecule Digital Chemistry (SMDC) is dedicated to the research and development of small molecule therapeutics. Our role is two-fold: support cutting-edge pharmaceutical research projects and develop innovative computational technologies in digital chemistry field. To be successful, we foster strong collaborations with Small Molecule Medicinal Chemistry within our Global Research and Technology (GRT) organization and colleagues across the Data Science and Innovation (DSI) organization. Our mission is to deliver in silico models, cheminformatics tools and computational chemistry platforms to enable in silico small molecule drug design to benefit patients across the globe. We believe in the value of a diverse and inclusive culture. Together, we build and grow talent to ensure the development of novel solutions. The team is comprised of collaborative, diverse and passionate people who have a true sense of pride in their work. We are committed to helping each other grow, and we are driven by the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of people living with chronic disease.
