Irwin Douglas "Tack" Kuntz is an important figure in the field of computer-aided drug design and molecular modeling. He is a pioneer in the development and conception of the area of study known as molecular docking. One of the first docking programs DOCK was developed in his group in 1982.[3][4]

Education

[edit]

Tack received his Bachelor of Arts degree in physical chemistry from Princeton University in 1961[citation needed] and his PhD from the University of California, Berkeley in 1965 for spectroscopic studies of photosynthesis.[5]

Career and research

[edit]

He moved to the Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry the University of California, San Francisco in the early 1970s.[6] He founded the Molecular Design Institute at UCSF in 1993.[7] He was awarded the UCSF medal in 2018.[8]
