Curriculum vitae, in short
Marcel HIBERT is professor and Director of the Laboratoire d’Innovation Thérapeutique at the University of Strasbourg, since 1997. In a former life in the industry, he contributed to the discovery and development of several clinical candidates whose one, AnzemetR, is on the market. In parallel he published the first detailed 3D models of GPCRs and of the binding sites of several neurotransmitters that have been validated 20 years later by crystallography.
He is currently involved in the development of generic methods to accelerate the discovery of ligands and drug candidates. He created and heads the French Academic Compound Collection (Chimiothèque Nationale). He is also particularly interested in vasopressin/ocytocin and chemokine receptors for drug development in the fields of attachment and inflammation, respectively.
He authored about 100 publications, 50 patents and gave more than 200 conferences. He obtained the Silver Medal of the CNRS in 2006.
