• Oversee and lead direction of research laboratory team and projects focused on development, innovation, and commercialization of CBD related products. • Worked with team to develop a water-soluble CBD liquid roll-on product, successful in delivering CBD and hemp components directly to targeted muscle and joint areas to relieve pain more quickly than oral or inhalant CBD products. (June 2020 USA market launch)• Enhanced purity and value of CBD products and treatment delivery through design of and implementation of new process for creating a unique water-based formula of pure hemp extract and buffered water, without need of inorganic stabilizers and emulsifiers. • Currently working on Covid-19 anti-virus product with projected 3 month launch timeline.

Florida

• Lead direction of full scope research, discovery, and product development of dietary supplements and functional ingredients. Interface with other scientists in plan and review of research projects on Zika virus, Alzheimer’s disease, Rheumatoid arthritis, and Type 1 diabetes• Managed team of 7 scientist project development, process optimization, production, scale-up, and quality control.• Outsourced and monitored domestic and international CRO contract activities including clinical trials, pharmacokinetics, toxicology studies, small animal studies and product formulations. • Expanded research team capability by hiring new scientists skilled in new R&D technologies and product development strategies.

China

• Built and managed new R&D laboratory and team operations from the ground up.• Conducted collaborative project initiatives with international researchers, secured and managed funding through international grants, wrote research proposals, and supervised international students. • Established 3M (mineral, metallurgical and materials) research centers, writing research proposals and progress reports and supervise international students

• Performed extraction, purification and identification of natural botanical products.• Reported and presented on new product candidates, discovery, molecular modeling, data visualization, and new project strategy. • Coordinated and guided seamless transition from process development to production by working directly with QA/QC and production to ensure specifications are maintained from bench scale-up to large-scale production. • Trained new scientists on laboratory processes and equipment including large scale supercritical carbon dioxide extraction system, column chromatography system, HPLC, LC/MS, DART TOF-MS, spectrophotometers, and fluorometers liquid handlers, plate washers and plate readers.

Richmond, Virginia Area

• Exploited underlying physics and chemistry of supercritical fluid (SCF)-assisted technologies to create materials with unique morphology and function not attainable by other means. • Completed research provided a stringent test of contemporary solution theories and computer simulations developed to predict phase behavior and other fluid properties.
