Frequency Therapeutics is a startup company looking to develop a treatment for the reversal of hearing loss. Brought on as contract employee to develop a micro particle based delivery system for their API.Developed a method to encapsulate API in microparticle with very high drug loading, with release tuned to desired rate. Was responsible for developing capacity to produce microparticles in the lab from scratch.Scaled up method for production to 25 times original scaleHelped develop formulation for microparticle injection.Assisted in other projects, especially the development of hydrogel carriers for delivery of API.

Medford, Ma

Developed a method for the fabrication of a drug release platform, NeuroReleaseDeveloped several variants of the method to produce materials that would serve as non-opiod pain treatments for various timescales. Performed multiple in vitro analytical tests on the produced biomaterials to determine and verify multiple characteristics.Scaled the method up to 625x original scale, with an eye to producing a GMP manufacturing procedure.Assisted in the in vivo testing of the material in multiple animal models for human pain. Also served as Chemical Hygene officer, overseeing the handling of waste produced by the facility, and ensuring safe behavior was practiced in the laboratory.

Villanova Pa

Developed novel polymer based devices for drug delivery. Responsible for following, developing, and improving procedures for the synthesis, assembly, and characterization of these devices and their components. Personally responsible for a improvement in yield from ~3% to ~50%.Techniques and technologies used include:*NMR*HPLC*SEM*Radical Polymerization of Organic Polymers (PLA/PEG)*Liquid-Liquid Extraction
