Cutting-edge science​ in medicinal chemistry

​The Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Doctoral Network MC4DD follows an interdisciplinary and cross-sectoral approach to expand the opportunities of macrocycles as next-generation drug modalities. It brings  together 8 academic and  5 industrial groups who are experts in macrocyclic drug discovery with their competences covering the fields of organic synthesis, medicinal, high-throughput and computational chemistry, pharmacological and structural analytics, and modelling. It is coordinated by the Technische Universität Darmstadt, Germany, and offers a mobility and training platform for young scientists by means of cross-site, interdisciplinary research projects. 

Join our vibrant research community
​​
Our project offers excellent research and training in medicinal chemistry and drug discovery. We promote the careers of young researchers by offering  intersectoral and multidisciplinary mobility and training in a variety of aspects in medicinal chemistry. To complement the academic and scientific goals, we offer customized research projects, structured interdisciplinary, local and network-wide transferable skills training activities, and secondments at top-ranking European universities and industry partners.

Our 17  Ph.D. positions have now been filled!

MC 4DD Offers to its Doctoral Candidates (DCs):
​• International PhD program and environment
• Interdisciplinary double supervision
• Sturctured Doctoral Training via dedicated thematic workshops
• Extracurricular seminars and workshops
• Researcher Mobility via Secondments to our network partners
• Academic and industrial experience
