Gerhard Klebe is full professor for pharmaceutical chemistry at the University of Marburg, Germany. His research is directed towards the understanding of protein-ligand interactions using chemical synthesis, microcalorimetry, molecular biology, crystallography, bioinformatics and software development. Software tools such as CoMSIA, AFMoC, DrugScore, Relibase/Cavbase or MOBILE have been developed in the group. He studied chemistry in Frankfurt/M, obtained his PhD in physical chemistry and spent postdoctoral stays in France and Switzerland. In BASF he was responsible for molecular modeling and crystallography. In 2005 he refused an offer from ETH Zürich, for a chair in Pharmaceutical Chemistry, published more than 280 scientific papers, serves on the editorial board of several journals, was member of the Board of Governors of the CCDC and is on the advisory board of the Leibniz-Institute FMP in Berlin. In 2011 he received an ERC Advanced Grant to support the research of his group. He organizes in two years frequency an International Workshop on New Approaches in Drug Discovery and Design.
