I was responsible for the qualitative analysis of polymers and additives therein, primarily by high resolution LCMS but other methods as needed.

I initiated a natural products drug discovery laboratory and team, including the acquisition of key pieces of analytical instrumentation and the implementation of methods for the isolation and characterization of novel antibiotics. The raw sources of the anti-bacterial leads were derived from a truly unique collection of unusual and "unculturable".

I was responsible for the extraction, isolation, and purification of natural product lead compounds derived from metagenomic libraries expressed in a Streptomyces host. I helped to transform a small start-up outfit of 7 people and no equipment into a small research facility with HPLC and MS capabilities that was capable of identifying new leads buried in a.

I was recruited to set up a new natural product drug discovery effort. I was involved in the planning, layout, and build-out of laboratory space, as well as the acquisition and set-up of major analytical chemistry equipment (LC-MS and NMR). I was a key member of the team that implemented a fermentation protocol, extraction process, and screening paradigm..

I was once again involved in natural products discovery, with an antimicrobial emphasis. I spent most of my time isolating biologically active materials from fermentation cultures, many of which demonstrated some level of efflux pump inhibition (an entirely new field at that time). Microcide was a fantastic place to work and really fostered an environment.

I was assigned to the task of analytical chemistry support, particularly the NMR spectroscopy lab. The combination of the NMR and MS labs was where the "chemical truth" was told about synthetic leads in drug discovery. It was interesting work from a service/client point of view and provided an opportunity to observe the multitude of research projects, but.

I served as a part-time adjunct instructor for organic chemistry. I thoroughly enjoyed this activity, and it was clear to me then that I had a special knack for teaching.

My first "real" job where I could earn a paycheck! Syntex was a great place to work, and showed pride in being a medium-size full pharma outfit with a "mom-and-pop shop" attitude. You can't beat the Palo Alto area for charm. I was hired in to help set up a new natural products chemistry laboratory, from shakers and incubators to HPLCs and Ito Coils. We.

Ph.D., Organic Chemistry

In retrospect, I think this was one of the most rewarding experiences in my life. I fully immersed myself in the research and teaching.
