RESEARCH SUMMARY

Dr. Nicklaus pioneered work on making large small-molecule databases and related chemoinformatics tools available to the scientific public on the CADD Group’s web server. He also pioneered the analysis of conformational energies of small molecule ligands bound to proteins. As Head of the CADD Group, he oversees the group’s research program in chemoinformatics, fundamentals of protein-ligand interactions, and in silico screening for targets of high interest to NCI. He makes the latter resources available in collaborative projects to improve NCI’s efforts in hit identification and drug design.

Areas of Expertise
