My work
I studied
chemistry followed by my
Ph.D. thesis in
computer science (
bioinformatics institute).
Since
October 2005 I am working at
Tibotec in
Beerse (+
post-doc period).
My work is now focused on
drug development using
molecular modelling and
cheminformatics.
My actual
drug targets are antiviral
proteases and
polymerases, e.g. for
HIV.
I was the main developer of
JOELib and one of the co-founders of a cheminformatics open source community called the
'blue obelisk' movement, because some of the administrators/developers met at the
blue obelisk. It was founded 2005 at the
ACS meeting in San Diego, where I had two talks. Since then I am still involved in chemistry related community work, e.g. as member of the
ChemSpider advisory board.
Fields that spark my interests are
proteases,
polymerases,
drug design,
antivirals,
cheminformatics,
chemogenomics,
molecular modelling,
QSAR,
information theory and
optimization
algorithms.
