Vice President, Chemistry Platform at Oerth Bio

Denis FOURCHES has a diverse work experience in the fields of data science, computational chemistry, and research. Denis started their career as a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of North Carolina in 2008, where they focused on developing cheminformatics approaches and software for descriptor calculation, QSAR modeling, and virtual screening. Denis also worked on protein folding and structure-function predictions, as well as the calculation of biological and ADMETox properties of drug-like molecules.

In 2015, Denis joined North Carolina State University as an Assistant Professor, where they worked until 2020. During their time there, they presumably conducted teaching and research duties, but specific details are not provided.

Since 2020, Denis has been working at Oerth Bio. Denis initially started as a Computational Chemist and later transitioned into the role of Senior Director of Data Science & Modeling in March 2021. Unfortunately, the end dates for these roles are not specified.

Overall, Denis FOURCHES has a strong background in molecular modeling, cheminformatics, and data science, with experience in academia and industry.

Denis Fourches began their education in 1995 at Edmond Perrier High School in Tulle, France, where they obtained a Baccalaureat S (Spe Math) with a focus on Mathematics in 1998. Denis later attended Limoges University in Limoges, France from 2001 to 2002, earning a Bachelor Degree in Chemistry. Denis then pursued a Master (M1) degree in Chemistry at Louis Pasteur University in Strasbourg, France, from 2002 to 2003. Following this, they completed a Master (M2) degree (MSc) in Cheminformatics at the same institution from 2003 to 2004, specializing in Theoretical Chemistry. In 2004, Denis Fourches enrolled at Louis Pasteur University for their Ph.D. in Chemistry, with a specialty in Cheminformatics, which they completed in 2007. Lastly, they undertook a Postdoc at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill from 2008 to 2010, focusing on Cheminformatics.
