Holger Gohlke of the Heinrich-Heine University in Duesseldorf, Germany is the recipient of the 10th Corwin Hansch award. The award, established in 2000, is named after the
honorary chair of the Society and the pioneer of the interdisciplinary science of quantitative
structure-activity relationships (QSAR), Dr. Corwin Hansch, Professor Emeritus at the Pomona
College, Claremont, CA. The award recognizes a researcher under the age of 40, who has made
significant contributions to the field of QSAR in a broad sense, and holds a promise to continue
his or her development.
- Selection of Dr. Gohlke for this prestitious award was based on his creative work in computational drug design, especially in the development of the scoring functions DrugScore and DrugScore_RNA, the unique AFMoC approach and its consensus adaptation for flexible docking, bridging the structure-based and ligand-based prediction of binding affinities, as well as for innovative studies of protein and RNA rigidity.
