Christoph Gorgulla is currently a lead scientist at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. He did his Ph.D. in mathematics with focus on computational drug discovery and quantum chemistry in Berlin, and graduated in 2018. Afterward, he became a postdoc at Harvard University, where he continued to work on developing methods for computational drug discovery based on ultra-large virtual screenings, and where he began to work on quantum computing approaches to drug discovery.
