RESEARCH INTERESTS: Organic Chemistry, Molecular Engineering, Synthesis Modeling, Drug Design

Todd Wipke is a computational chemist, primarily interested in computer-assisted design of drugs, molecular engineering, and expert systems in organic chemistry. He is imparting to the computer strategies of construction, knowledge of chemical transformations, and knowledge of how drugs bind to proteins. This work has useful application in the design and synthesis of new drugs for AIDS, breast cancer, and inflammation, and synthesis of new catalysts and materials. His group collaborates with the pharmaceutical industry for the synthesis and testing of candidate molecules.
