I am a professor in the Laboratory and Genomic Medicine Division at Washington University in St Louis. My research focuses using computational methods solve problems at the intersection of medicine, chemistry and biology.
We are happy to have Matt Matlock officially join the group for his PhD. Matt has worked in the group over the last three years, but now that he is entering the PhD portion of his MD/PhD program, he will be with us full time.
Motivation: Cytochrome P450s are a family of enzymes responsible for the metabolism of approximately 90% of FDA approved drugs. Medicinal chemists often want to know which atoms of a … Continue Reading ››
Over the last several months we have published several papers. In the coming weeks, I will be posting abstracts and additional information for each of these papers. In the meantime, here are the citations of those that have hit print.
This week (December 4-5, 2012), I am honored to chair and present at the World Drug Repositioning Conference in Washington DC. This conference brings together several key industry groups to share insight into how they are discovering new uses for drugs in their pipelines. The second day of the conference, I will be presenting on technology developed … Continue Reading ››
It is a pleasure to welcome our first postdoc to the Laboratory. Jed did his PhD under Curt Breneman, one of the leaders in Chemical Informatics, at the Rensselaer Exploratory Center for Cheminformatics Research, and his work was supported by Eli Lilly. His PhD focused on predicting how molecules are metabolized by P450 enzymes and culminated with the … Continue Reading ››
