Upon receiving his habilitation, He returned to Germany and was appointed as a Professor of Medicinal Chemistry at the University of Bonn. Since October 1996, Peter Gmeiner has held the Chair of Medicinal Chemistry at the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU). Peter Gmeiner's research spans the structure-based design, synthesis, and pharmacological investigation of novel G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) ligands. Within these studies, subtype- and functionally selective GPCR ligands are of particular interest.
