Prof. Brian Shoichet
Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, University of California, San Francisco,
United States
Pr. Brian Shoichet received a B.Sc. in Chemistry and a
B.Sc. in History in 1985, from MIT. He received his Ph.D.
for work with Tack Kuntz on molecular docking in 1991,
from UCSF. Shoichet's postdoctoral research focused on
protein structure and stability with Brian Matthews at the
Institute of Molecular Biology in Eugene, Oregon. In 1996,
Pr. Shoichet joined the Dept. of Molecular Pharmacology
& Biological Chemistry of Northwestern University as an
Assistant Professor. In 2002, Pr. Shoichet was promoted
to a tenured Associate Professor. Around that time he
was recruited back to UCSF, where he is now a Professor
in the Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry.
Research in Pr. Shoichet’s Lab seeks to bring chemical reagents to biology, combining
computational simulation and experiment. An unanticipated observation emerging from the
theory/experiment cycle was the colloidal aggregation of organic molecules. This phenomenon has
great effects in early and late drug discovery, and remains under investigation. More broadly, the
Schoichet Lab adopts a protein-centric approach that seeks new ligands to complement protein
structures. This involves development of new docking methods and experimental model systems
to test them. Using a ligand-centric approach, the Shoichet Lab seeks new targets for established
drugs and reagents. Whereas this lacks the physical foundation of the structure-based research
program, it returns to an older, pharmacological view of biological relationships, bringing to it a
quantitative model. A focus for both approaches is ligand discovery against G Protein-Coupled
Receptors (GPCRs).
