About Christian Hassig
Experience
Chris received his Ph.D. in Professor Stuart Schreiber’s laboratory at Harvard University and completed his postdoctoral training at UC Berkeley under the supervision of Dr. Barbara Meyer. Most recently, Chris served as Associate Director of Biology at Kalypsys, Inc., a privately owned biopharmaceutical company specializing in small molecule drug discovery and development. During his tenure in industry, he designed and coordinated the execution of numerous HTS campaigns against various targets, including deacetylases, kinases, and nitric oxide synthases. In addition, he directed three projects to Investigational New Drug (IND) stage, and one through completion of Phase II clinical trials. This research also led to a number of peer-reviewed scientific articles describing the biological, chemical and pharmacological properties of novel small molecule modulators of these targets. Chris also holds an adjunct faculty appointment at The Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla.
