PhD in organic chemistry with experience in medicinal chemistry and drug development

Profile Summary

I am currently working as a scientist in a biopharmaceutical startup where we are developing APIs and formulations for severe eye disease. In my PhD project I worked with developing low molecular weight amphiphilic antimicrobials using techniques such as triazole "Click" chemistry and [2+2+2] cycloaddition reactions. I have experience in writing academic articles, reports, protocols, and popular science articles. In addition to my writing skills, I have some experience with graphical design for presentations, posters, and websites.
