Dr. Potter has over 12 years of experience in molecular modeling methods development. Particular areas of expertise include continuum solvent models and the prediction of binding affinities for the binding of small molecules to proteins and synthetic host molecules. His extensive scientific software development experience includes GUI design, 3D visualization, a variety of modern programming languages, and the application of high-level scripting languages to the problems of rapid development and usability for computational chemistry applications. He received undergraduate degrees from Michigan State University in Biochemistry and Mathematics and a Ph.D. from the University of California at San Diego in Chemistry.

Dr. Gilson has 20 years of experience developing methods and tools for molecular modeling in chemistry and the life sciences. He made fundamental contributions to the development of the Poisson-Boltzmann model of molecular electrostatics and to widely used programs implementing this model. More recently, he has developed the predominant states approach to calculating molecular binding affinities. He received his undergraduate degree from Harvard College in Bioengineering, Ph.D. from Columbia University in Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics, and M.D. from Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons. He is concurrently Professor at the Center for Advanced Research in Biotechnology in Rockville, MD.

Dr. Gilson has over 20 year of experience in molecular modeling of chemical and biological systems both at the quantum and classical level, as well as experience in database and graphical user interface design and implementation. She received her undergraduate degree from the University of California in San Diego in Physics, M.S from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in Physiology and Biophysics, and Ph.D. from Columbia University in Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics.
