                               Bio for David A. Gallagher, C.Chem.

David studied chemistry at the University of Kent at Canterbury in England and at the University of London. He was one of the founding members of the CAChe Group in 1989, that developed the award-winning computer-aided chemistry tool, the CAChe WorkSystem, for experimental chemists and biochemists. David has continued to be active in the application and development of computational chemistry methods while working for Tektronix, Oxford Molecular, Fujitsu, and CAChe Research.
