Medicinal chemist working with hit to lead discovery research of antibiotics for control of gram negative bacteria. Proficient in chromatography with Gilson reverse phase purification and Waters LCMS.

Radnor, PA

Investigated highly polar molecules with goal of discovering molecules that are effective against a broad range of gram negative bacteria and food borne pathogens. My responsibilities are for analyzing targets and following the progress of reactions by (HPLC/ LCMS), designing practical target routes using SciFinder, synthesizing and purifying targets.

Prepared and purified compounds for medicinal use on pain targets, researched and trouble shot synthesis when required and confirmed structural assignmentSynthesized more than 250 analogs for screening in receptor based assay for evaluation of pain management to elucidate SAR(structure activity relationship)Strategized approaches with team to overcome the.

Researched synthesis routes; developed and demonstrated practical, cost effective green routes to allow delivery of multikilogram quantities of drug candidates in team environment. Saved hundreds of thousands of dollars in raw material cost by optimizing and delivering eight kilograms of drug intermediate via high yielding Grignard addition to ketone and.

Researched chemical literature and propose synthetic routes to target molecules and independently prepare, characterize and purify targets. Prepared diverse organic compound ranging from amino acid similar molecules to diphenyl ethers and heterocycles for product testingSynthesized multifunctional triazanones as fungicides. EP 955291 A1 process patent.
