Ramy Farid, President, joined Schrödinger in 2002. He received his Ph.D. in Chemistry from Caltech in 1991, and was an NIH Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Pennsylvania. He was an Assistant Professor at Rutgers University prior to joining Schrödinger. His research at Rutgers focused on computational protein design, which resulted in a number of high-profile publications. After joining Schrödinger, Ramy rapidly rose through a series of leadership positions as well as led many research and development projects; he also authored several highly-cited publications applying computational tools to drug discovery, including the innovative Induced-fit docking algorithm, which is the most cited article from the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry in
2006.
