Simone is heading the ’Molecular Modelling & Design’ department at Novo Nordisk, which is focusing on in silico driven design and engineering of biologics by employing Molecular Modelling, Data Science, and Machine Learning approaches. Activities also include engaging with external collaborations in the field of AI-driven drug discovery and compound design. Before joining Novo Nordisk, Simone was a group leader at the BioMed X Innovation Center in Heidelberg, where she developed together with her team computational methods that support the rational design of selective kinase inhibitors. Simone obtained her Ph.D. in the field of Computational Chemistry from the Goethe-University, Frankfurt/Main, and did a PostDoc in the course of a Marie Curie program at a spin-out company from the University of Oxford.
