Thomas E. Exner PhD

Thomas Exner studied chemistry and graduated in 1996 from the Technische Universität Darmstadt. In the following 4 years, he did his PhD at the same University in the group of Prof. Jürgen Brickmann on "Biomolecular Docking Using a Fuzzy Logic Based Algorithm". From 2000 to 2003 he joint the group of Prof. Paul Mezey at the University of Saskatchewan, Canada, as a postdoctoral fellow. In this time, he became interested in quantum chemical calculations on very large bio-molecular systems.

He was appointed a junior professorship at the University of Konstanz. The diverse topics of his independent group cover protein-ligand docking, pharmacophore modeling, structure prediction using NMR constraints, calculation of molecular and especially NMR-related properties of proteins and DNA, molecular dynamics simulations, free-energy calculations as well as quantum chemical calculations of metal complexes.
