Dr. Paul Hawkins. OpenEye Scientific. Paul got his Ph.D from  University in Southampton. After a post-doc in the U.S. and Australia he settled, in New England (Boston) to work in biotech as a medicinal chemist. In this capacity he was involved in a variety of project areas, making a wide range of compounds. After a number of years at the bench he became an applications scientist for Tripos, covering the New England area. Paul has numerous publications and patents to his credit. His professional experience includes OpenEye Scientific, Tripos, Arqule, Paratek & Ariad Pharmaceuticals. OpenEye’s guiding philosophy is that it is sufficient to accurately quantify the shape and electrostatics of a molecule for the purposes of lead discovery. Following that philosophy, OpenEye provides tools that vastly increase the scale of operation of computational chemistry in drug design. Since there are an almost infinite (10**200) number of feasible drug-like molecules, a productive discovery process will lead to effective drug candidates.
