Panelists

Neil Wishart, Ph.D., Associate Director, Abbott

KINASE BIO: Over 10 years of experience leading multiple kinase programs from early hit-to-lead through to candidate status. Successfully navigated a number of kinase-related pitfalls on multiple classes of kinase targets (serine/threonine, tyrosine, pseudo and PI3 kinases) for Oncology and Immunology indications.

Daniel Goldberg, Ph.D., Senior Principal Scientist, Boehringer-Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals

KINASE BIO: Over 12 years of drug discovery experience, many spent in the field of kinase research. My focus has been on both autoimmune and cardiovascular disease targets from hit-to-lead through candidate selection. I have worked to balance the desired kinase selectivity through structure-based approaches while being vigilant on maintaining desired drug like properties.

Isabelle Dussault, Ph.D., Director, Oncology Research, Amgen

KINASE BIO: Cancer Biologist, Team Leader and Director of multiple kinase programs. Experience spans from target identification to clinical candidate identification and early clinical development.

*Shared session with Structure-Based Drug Design Conference

David C. Dalgarno, Ph.D., Vice President, Research Technologies, ARIAD Pharmaceuticals Inc.

Andrew C. Good, Ph.D., Scientific Director, Medicinal Chemistry, Genzyme Corp.

KINASE BIO: Highly experienced computational chemist involved in 3 projects that have brought compounds to the clinic. Exposure to multiple kinase projects at GlaxoWellcome, Bristol-Myers Squibb and Genzyme. Currently leading primary Genzyme kinase oncology project, shepherding the program from hit id through to late stage lead optimization.

Ravi G. Kurumbail, Ph.D., Research Fellow and Structural Biology Laboratory Head, Pfizer, Inc.

KINASE BIO: Experience in structure-based drug design in over half a dozen kinase projects in the pharmaceutical industry; contributed to the development of clinical candidates; experience in evaluation of kinase inhibitors for CNS indications; championed a kinase project for Alzheimer’s disease; trained as a protein X-ray crystallographer; currently leading a structural biology lab at Pfizer.

Dirksen Bussiere, Ph.D., M.B.A., Director, Structural Chemistry, Novartis Institutes for BioMedical Research

KINASE BIO: Fifteen years experience in structure-based drug design, including more than ten projects targeting kinases for diabetes and cancer, several of which led to compounds currently in development; trained in protein biochemistry, biophysics, structural biology, and computational chemistry/biology; currently leading a structural biology group at Novartis.

John D. Haley, Ph.D., Senior Research Director, Translational Research,OSI Pharmaceuticals
