Paul Clemons

Paul Clemons is a chemical biology fellow in the Chemical Biology program at the Broad Institute. His work involves basic research in chemical genetics, including multidimensional screening and data analysis, and cheminformatics, including relating chemical structure to biological outcomes resulting from screening activities.

Paul was part of a team that developed the "one-bead, one-stock solution approach" to chemical genetics that evolved into Broad's Chemical Biology platform, where he oversees the platform's capabilities in multidimensional screening, cheminformatics, and computational science. He is the author of many publications and reviews in his field of study.

Additionally, Paul serves as head of Systematic Chemical Genetics in the Initiative for Chemical Genetics, a National Cancer Institute-sponsored program in the application of chemical genetics to basic research in cancer biology.

Prior to joining the Broad, Paul was an institute fellow at the Institute of Chemistry and Cell Biology at Harvard Medical School. He received his Ph.D. in 2001 from Harvard University in Molecular and Cellular Biology under the direction of Stuart Schreiber in the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology. In 1995, he received a B.S. in biochemical and biophysical sciences from the University of Houston where he studied in the laboratory of Kurt Krause at the Institute of Molecular Design and the Keck Center for Computational Biology.
