Jan M. Kriegl

Jan M. Kriegl studied Physics at the University of Ulm, Germany, where he prepared his diploma thesis in 1999. He received his PhD in 2003 from the University of Ulm, working on electron transfer reactions in bacterial photosynthetic reaction centers and ligand binding to heme proteins together with Prof. Uli Nienhaus. In 2003 he joined BI as a Postdoc in Computational Chemistry. He initially focussed on in-silico modeling of ADMET parameters such as hERG inhibition or drug metabolism, before he started to work as a Computer-Aided Molecular Design scientist in lead identification and optimization projects for respiratory, CNS, and cardiometabolic diseases. Since 2011 Jan M. Kriegl is heading the Computational Chemistry group at BI’s research site in Biberach, Germany.
