Matthias Negri

Boehringer Ingelheim, Germany

Matthias Negri received his MSc (2004) in Medicinal Chemistry from the University of Bologna and his PhD degree (2010) in Pharmaceutical Sciences in co-tutele from the University of Saarland and the University of Bologna. He specialized in computational drug design and molecular modelling and was active in several drug design projects in the oncology, infective and hormone-dependent diseases fields. Due to the interdisciplinary character of those projects, he worked with several groups at the Universities of Saarland and of Bologna and with industrial partners, gaining important experience in sharing data and cooperating with and managing external collaborations. After two postdoctoral experiences (University of Saarland and Helmholtz Institute for Pharmaceutical Research Saarland) he moved to Boehringer Ingelheim in 2014, where he joined the Scientific Information Center in Biberach. He is currently responsible for chemistry related searches, text- and data-mining as well as the integration of novel tools in the R&D landscape.
