Brian Shoichet

Brian Shoichet is a Professor of Pharmaceutical Chemistry at UCSF, where his lab combines computational modeling with detailed experimental testing. Computationally, the lab has contributed new molecular docking and chemoinformatics methods. Experimentally, the lab has investigated colloidal aggregation and its impact on discovery, and has developed model systems for detailed testing of new docking methods. These methods have been applied to new chemotype discovery, with a particular focus on G protein coupled receptors.
