Biography

William Seibel, PhD, completed his doctorate in chemistry at Harvard University. He then worked for 19 years in various positions at Procter & Gamble Pharmaceuticals, managing migraine and antimicrobials drug discovery groups as well as technology groups in computational, modeling, structural biology and combinatorial chemistry. He then served as head of the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine’s Compound Library and Cheminformatics group and as project manager for the Drug Discovery Center, both of which continue through his Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center appointment. His interests are in working with various collaborators to find the most efficient and effective approaches to identify biologically active small molecules, and advance these leads to clinical candidate status.
