Jeffrey Neitz, PhD
Professor
My career in science has been spent in pursuit of molecules which can have profound and disease- modifying impacts on human health. This goal requires knowledge of chemical synthesis, PK/ADME, screening technologies, and emerging biophysical disciplines that are redefining molecule design. As the…Learn more about Jeffrey Neitz, PhD -
Adam Renslo, PhD
Professor
I am the School’s representative in collaborations between our academic scientists and industry, aiming to translate the most promising discoveries and technologies from our research into therapies that reach patients.My research group is engaged at the interface of chemistry and biology. As…Learn more about Adam Renslo, PhD -

Brian Shoichet, PhD
Chair, Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry
We seek to bring chemical reagents to biology combining computation and experiment. Using molecular docking, we discover new ligands that fit protein structures. Using a ligand-centric approach, we find new targets for known drugs and reagents. A focus for both is ligand discovery for GPCRs.Learn more about Brian Shoichet, PhD -
Lei Wang, PhD
Professor
I am interested in building proteins in living cells using new amino acids. By designing novel properties into the new amino acids, my lab probes biological processes in their native settings and engineer unique biomolecules to understand disease mechanisms and to develop new protein drugs.Learn more about Lei Wang, PhD -
Jim Wells, PhD
Harry Wm. and Diana V. Hind Distinguished Professor of Pharmaceutical Sciences I
My research focuses on developing enabling technologies for protein engineering and drug discovery to understand biology and pave roads to therapeutics.Learn more about Jim Wells, PhD -
Lani Wu, PhD
Professor
In my lab, I seek to understand design principles of biological systems and how biological networks rewire during disease progression. I bring to my biology research a blend of experimental science, engineering, and mathematics. Projects in my lab integrate advance technology, experiment, machine…Learn more about Lani Wu, PhD -
