My work
I studied chemistry followed by my Ph.D. thesis in computer science. In other words I am a Cheminformatician by education, because in 2001 there were not many universities offering this subject as a major.
Fields that spark my interests are drug design, antivirals, cheminformatics, chemogenomics, molecular modelling, QSAR (especially ADME and molecule mining), coding of molecules, information theory and optimization algorithms. Besides, I am the administrator of the JOELib-Cheminformatics-library.
I am one of the co-founders of a cheminformatics open source community called the 'blue obelisk' movement, because some of the administrators/developers met at the blue obelisk. It was founded 2005 at the ACS meeting in San Diego, where I had two talks.
Since October 2005 I am working as post-doc at Tibotec in Mechelen. My work is now focused on molecular modelling and Cheminformatics.
My actual drug target working on is one of the HIV targets.
