My name is Andreas Svennebring and I am working with drug discovery issues. My major areas of interest concern the early phases of drug discovery stretching from target-identification over lead-identification to lead-optimization. I am educated to pharmacist (sv. apotekare) and economist and have a PhD-degree in medicinal chemistry. I am currently working at the Department of Medicinal Chemistry and Pharmacognosy at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC).
