Jan Wenzel

Principal Scientist II

Sanofi

Jan Wenzel studied chemistry in Frankfurt am Main, combining his interests in both math and chemistry by conducting computational research projects dealing with DNA (6-4) photolesions between pyrimidine bases and organic electronics and photovoltaics.

Jan received his Ph.D. from the university of Heidelberg, where he conducted fundamental research for applications in electronics property optimization and simulation of X-ray absorption spectroscopy. During the project, Jan became also co-author of the Q-Chem simulation software package.

Afterwards, Jan started as PostDoc at Sanofi in Frankfurt. The project’s focus was on deep learning in the field of safety big data analytics, to advance the capabilities to analyze, predict and optimize safety parameters of novel drug candidates. Currently, Jan is Scientist for computational and systems toxicology at Sanofi.
