Research-trained chemist | Expert in SAR & synthesis | Open to CADD & early-phase strategy collaborations

Profile Summary

I am a research-trained chemist specializing in medicinal and synthetic organic chemistry, now actively expanding into computer-aided drug design (CADD) and cheminformatics. With over seven years of hands-on experience in small-molecule drug discovery, I bridge experimental and computational approaches by leveraging my robust expertise in medicinal chemistry and organic synthesis. My background in synthetic route design, SAR analysis, and scaffold optimization allows me to critically assess computational outputs and translate them into practical, synthesis-ready drug discovery strategies. By integrating structure-based drug design (SBDD) with real-world experimental feasibility, I offer a unique perspective that ensures computational insights align with chemical viability. I am available to collaborate in scientific writing, data interpretation, research proposal editing, patent translation, and drug discovery strategy development.
