His research interests are anti-inflammatory and cancer drug discovery with various eicosanoid (COX-1,2,3, LOXs, mPGES1, cPLA2) and protein kinase targets (p38, JAKs, JNKs, CK1d, mtEGRFs). Three compounds from his lab entered clinical development phases. Dr. Laufer chairs the ICEPHA (Interfaculty Center for Pharmacogenomics and Drug Research) and T�CADD, Tuebingen Center for Academic Drug Discovery. As part of this work, a proprietary kinase inhibitor collection is established (T�KIC, 10.000 cpds). He authored more than 500 publications, 14 books/bookchapters, and is inventor in 42 patent families. See less
