About
Christian Fellinger is a Researcher at the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences within the Faculty of Life Sciences at the University of Vienna. With a B.Sc. and MSc background, he conducts interdisciplinary research spanning computational chemistry and molecular toxicology, focusing on protein-ligand interactions and the biological impacts of environmental compounds.
His research expertise centers on computational pharmaceutical sciences, particularly the development of novel methods like GRADE and X-GRADE for analyzing protein-ligand interactions. Simultaneously, he investigates how foodborne xenoestrogens affect breast cancer cell behavior, with implications for understanding metastatic processes. His work integrates computational modeling with experimental toxicology to address critical questions in drug discovery and environmental health.
Analysis of Fellinger's publications reveals a dual research trajectory: methodological innovation in computational chemistry and applied research on environmental impacts on cancer biology. This interdisciplinary approach bridges pharmaceutical sciences with molecular oncology, demonstrating how computational tools can address complex biological questions.
- Recent Activities:
- Presented 'GRADE-ing Protein-Ligand Interactions' at a scientific conference (June 2025)
