Host Organization
Sosei Heptares Therapeutics Limited, United Kingdom

Computational Chemistry

ALLODD Role
Co-Supervisor for ESR10

Brief Bio
Dr. Ijen Chen is passionate about molecular recognition and has been working in structure based drug design for more than 20 years contributing to the discovery and optimization phases of various target classes such as GPCRs, Kinases, and Protein-Protein Interactions. She has co-authored peer-reviewed articles on both drug design and technology development. She is also an inventor on chemical patents from her collaborative work. Before joining Sosei Heptares, she was with Vernalis with a special focus on fragment based design. She obtained her BSc in Chemistry from Tsing Hua University in Taiwan and has a PhD in Computational Chemistry from Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Maryland in US.
