After his pharmacy M.S. degree (1987) he obtained a Ph.D. degree in organic chemistry at the University of Vienna (Austria) in 1991. He then spent one year as a post-doc fellow at the Universiteacute; Louis Pasteur (Strasbourg, France) with C. G. Wermuth. In 1992 he moved to the University of Innsbruck, where he established the molecular modeling group. Since 1997 he is associate professor for pharmaceutical chemistry. In addition to his academic appointments, he is also the founder and CEO of the Inteligand, a company specialized in providing computational services for the pharmaceutical industry. Professor Langer's main research interests are focused on theoretical pharmaceutical chemistry, drug design, and pharmacophore modeling using molecular modeling techniques as well as QSAR and 3D-QSAR. |
