Irwin D. 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.[1]
He founded the Molecular Design Institute at UCSF in 1993. [2]
