Duncan McRee

Duncan McRee is an internationally recognized leader in the field of protein crystallography. Prior to forming ActiveSight, Dr. McRee was Director of Crystallography at Syrrx where he helped develop automated, high throughput crystallographic methods to accelerate structure based drug design. Previously, Dr. McRee was a faculty member at The Scripps Research Institute where he ran an active program in determining metalloprotein structures by X-ray crystallography, including the first structure of a microsomal P450. Dr. McRee has over 90 entries in the PDB and has authored over 70 publications and the widely-used book “Practical Protein Crystallography.” He is the founder of Molecular Images, a crystallographic software company writing new software for a consortium of pharmaceutical companies that has been acquired by Rigaku Americas, and is an Adjunct Associate Professor of Molecular Biology at The Scripps Research Institute.
