Erik De Clercq


M.D. Ph.D. Erik De Clercq is a professor emeritus at the KU Leuven, Belgium, and a visiting professor at the University of South Bohemia in the Czech Republic. His research interests are embraced within the broad areas of microbiology, virology, molecular biology and antiviral research, focusing on HIV, HBV, HCV, influenza, VZV, herpesvirus and merging viruses (e.g. Ebola, Dengue, Chikungunya). Over a period of five decades, he has developed new antiviral medicines include nucleotide analogues (e.g. tenofovir), and he has co-invented several approved antiviral drugs such as BVDU (brivudin), amino acyl esters of acyclovir (e.g. valaciclovir), acyclic nucleoside phosphonates (ANPs, cidofovir, adefovir, tenofovir), non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors, HEPT and TIBO derivatives leading to rilpivirine for the treatment of AIDS. Since the start of his academic career in 1967, Prof. Erik De Clercq has published more than 2700 research articles.
