Research Triangle Park, Nc

Director, Chemical Biology Group- probe molecule discovery for epigenetics targets in collaboration with internal GSK groups and the Structural Genomics Consortium (SGC)-co-led an open science project to seed research into the so-called "un-targeted kinome" using the GSK Published Kinase Inhibitor Set (PKIS).

Scope of Responsibility: Scientific leadership and strategy development for a team of 7 chemists tasked with finding lead series suitable for sustaining metabolic lead optimization programs; creating work plans for up to 10 external FTEs in support of our team mission;

Scope of Responsibility: Scientific leadership and strategy development for a collaborative global kinase chemistry team; portfolio target chemistry resource investment decisions; management of a team of 12 internal chemists tasked with identifying multiple chemical series for targets in the early-stage drug discovery portfolio and with progressing kinase target class science; management of a varying number of external FTEs; design and synthesis of kinase inhibitors

Scope of responsibility: Scientific leadership of a team of chemists tasked with identifying multiple chemical series for targets in the early-stage drug discovery portfolio and with progressing kinase target class science; kinase program target tracker; design and synthesis of kinase inhibitors

Scope of responsibility: As a member of the Combichem Technology Team, collaborated with program teams to progress programs through molecule design and array synthesis, and enhanced the chemistry division’s ability to incorporate solution and solid-phase parallel synthesis methodologies into our work flow; experience working on kinase inhibitors, GPCR ligands, nuclear hormone receptor ligands

Scope of responsibility: project leadership for a 7TM GPCR program; molecule design and synthesis for drug discovery programs; develop systems based expertise related to 7-trans-membrane GPCRs leading to implementation of a chemistry strategy to target these receptors; contribute to the continuing education efforts for the chemistry division.

Scope of Responsibility: molecule design and synthesis for drug discovery programs; experience working on zinc proteases (MMPs) and alpha 1 antagonists (7TM GPCR)
