Professor for Pharmaceutical Chemistry and head of the molecular drug design group at the Institute of Pharmacy at the Freie Universität Berlin.
Biography
14After his studies of pharmacy at the University of Innsbruck and Computer Science at the Technical University of Vienna, he received his PhD in pharmaceutical chemistry at the University of Innsbruck. In 2003 he co-founded the molecular modeling software company Inte:Ligand acting as head of research and development. In 2008 he changed back to academia as assistant professor at the University of Innsbruck before changing to the Freie Universität Berlin in 2010. His lab consistently implements the “design-make-test” cycle in drug design by combining computational drug discovery with synthesis and biological evaluation. Current research interests:
– Development and application of new computer-aided methods in drug design
– Tailored ligands with functional selectivity for G protein-coupled receptors
– Toll-like receptors: modulation of the innate immune response for inflammation regulation and cancer therapy
– Cytochrome P450 enzymes: Metabolism & Applications in Cancer Therapy
– Viral protease inhibitors by fragment-based de novo design
