Doel vak
The aim is to obtain experience in scientific research including thedesign and execution of computational experiments and to critically
interpret and reflect on these results. The project will be conducted
within the field of theoretical (bio)chemistry in one of the following
settings:
- University or Academic hospital
- Research institute
- Company
The internship can be performed either within the Netherlands or abroad.
Inhoud vak
The specific content of the project depends on the associatedsupervisor(s), available projects at the host/location and the timing of
the internship, but generally deals with quantum chemical methods,
including Density Functional Theory (DFT). DFT calculations are used to
gain insights in chemical interactions, like reaction mechanisms that
lead to the synthesis of drugs, or the interactions of (drug) molecules
with DNA and/or proteins.
Attention will be paid to setting up new research/experiments, using
state-of-the-art computational techniques, analyzing computational
results and keeping adequate documentation.
Onderwijsvorm
Literature review, formulating a research question, conductingexperiments, keeping adequate documentation, analyzing data, reporting
on results in progress/group meetings, in a written thesis and final
presentation within the research group.
Toetsvorm
Academic attitude, execution, oral presentation, and written thesisVereiste voorkennis
Entry requirements with respect to attained courses and number ofcredits apply. See the Education and Examination regulations and the
internship manual Drug Discovery & Safety. For questions, consult the
internship coordinator well in advance (internships_sf.beta@vu.nl).
Literatuur
Starting literature will be provided by the supervisor. The first 1-2weeks of the traineeship will be spent on literature reading and
preparation for the project.

The standard length of a major internship is 42 EC (7 months). Extensionup to 60 EC (10 months) can be incorporated as part of the optional part
of the master program. Make sure you discuss your personal education
plan with your master (track) coordinator well in advance. See the
“Master Drug Discovery & Safety Internship manual” for more information
(rules, regulations, tips, etc.) on the internship process. This manual
can be found on the canvas community “Master Drug Discovery & Safety”.
