Ian Pendleton is a Senior Scientist in Boston with nine years of experience applying computational chemistry and cheminformatics to drug discovery, now driving research at Alkermes after roles at Relay Therapeutics and Vertex. He holds a PhD in Organic and Computational Chemistry from the University of Michigan and blends rigorous academic training with hands-on engineering of reaction informatics, chemical simulations, and data pipelines. Ian’s work spans both algorithm development and production-ready pipelines that accelerate molecular design, reflecting a rare mix of synthetic chemistry intuition and software-minded automation. Colleagues describe him as someone who turns complex physical chemistry problems into scalable data-driven solutions, and his public portfolio highlights an active focus on reproducible workflows and simulation tooling.
