“The GDCh honors Prof. Dr. Gisbert Schneider with the Gmelin-Beilstein-Denkmünze 2022 for his pioneering work in the integration of machine learning methods into practical medicinal chemistry, making him the pioneer of today’s artificial intelligence approaches in drug design. He also coined the terms “scaffold-hopping” and “frequent hitter”, which are now an integral part of the vocabulary of medicinal chemistry.
