Structure-based Drug Research

Our group draws from the cooperation between synthetic chemists preparing novel, rationally designed compounds, biochemists and molecular biologists who investigate new molecular and biological mechanisms of action.

Fields of study

  • Rational Drug Design
  • Identification and validation of novel pharmacological concepts
  • Synthesis of macro- or polycyclic substances to control the bioactive conformation
  • Proximity-based tools such as molecular glues and approaches
  • Development of FKBP51 inhibitors as novel antidepressants, analgesics or anti-obesity agents

LEAF certification

We are proud to be part of the LEAF program that certifies sustainable Labs.

We entered the program 2023 and strive to reduce our ecological footprint further in the future.

The Faculty
