About Mark L. Nelson, Ph.D.

Organic and Medicinal Antibiotic and Chemist and Inventor with over 40 patents and marketed drugs Nuzyra and Seysara FDA approved in 2018. From this work I received the ACS Heroes of Chemistry Award in 2019. Now in commercial business development of small molecules for medicine and mankind- I walk in both Worlds now! I've recently joined Piramal Pharma Solutions as Senior Business Development manager in Drug Discovery Chemistry and Biology, US Western States and Canada, providing chemical synthesis services to Pharma and commercial industries in cancer, neurodegeneration and inflammation, and providing advanced synthesis services to the pharmaceutical, optical, synthesis reagent, medical chemical industries and with emphasis on chemical synthesis and chemical library design.If we have have met over the years you know how I love chemical synthesis, drug discovery, and creating drugs- these are all the hallmarks of Piramal Pharma Solutions and we will help you deliver the next waves of drugs for medicine and mankind. Who Are You Going to Trust with Your Science?With Altoris, Inc- a premier cheminformatics group in San Diego, we developed screening and synthesis libraries for chemical diversity HTS, building block synthesis and IP expansion, and used SBDD to provide NCEs for chemical discovery and development in cancer and inflammation targets. While I have been studying the antiinflammatory activity of novel tetracyclines against stroke and neurodegeneration and the links between infectious diseases, mitochondria, and inflammation with researchers worldwide, past and ongoing projects are being led by my colleagues will continue through their labs.Marc Halterman, MD, PhD. Laboratory- University of Buffalo: Tetracyclines for Stroke and cardiovascular diseaseAndrew Dillin/David Raulet Laboratories, UC Berkeley: Compounds affecting cancer and mitohormesis mechanismsNeumedics, Inc.: Compounds active in Macular Degeneration and eye inflammation.Bunick Laboratroy: Yale University- Cryo-EM and SBDD of Novel Compounds Affecting InflammationAuwerx Laboratory EPFL: Novel compounds affecting disease tolerance, mitohormesis and Alzheimer's Disease states. Organic and Medicinal Chemist with Expertise in Business Development and Commercialization of Drugs, Microbiology, Drug Discovery, Antibiotics and the Tetracyclines now heading Business and Science Development, creating compounds, collaborations, and compound collections for drug discovery. Inventor of FDA Approved Nuzyra/Omadacycline and over 40 other patents.

  • Paratek Pharmaceuticals
    Senior Director Of Chemistry
    Paratek Pharmaceuticals 1996 - 2011
    Boston, Ma, Us
    In synthesis that began at Tufts University School of Medicine, we created over 3K new derivatives of the tetracycline family of chemotherapeutics that resulted in clinical compounds progressing towards commercialization. This work resulted in over 40 US patents and over 400$MM invested primarily by foreign and national private and institutional investors. From these efforts we invented and generated Omadacycline, now named Nuzyra, a potent antibiotic against drug resistant microbes, and the chemistry of Sarecycline, both compounds that were approved by the FDA against resistant Staph, VRE and Gram negative pathogens, CAP and is active orally. Both compounds are available now worldwide, and was recently the subject of a 330M$ BARDA grant to further study Nuzyra against Anthrax and to be placed in the strategic National Stockpile. Paratek was traded under NSDQ: PRTK then purchased by Novo Holdings and Gurnet Point for 460M$ in 2023.
