Technical manager for a medicinal chemistry department with responsibility for setting budgets, shifting resources among active projects, allocation of laboratory space, determining capital equipment needs, and hiring. Provided technical leadership for several lead optimization medicinal chemistry projects. Acted as outsourcing manager for compound library acquisition and contract research. Played a major role in seeking out and evaluating joint research opportunities and collaborations with other companies, academics and government labs.

Contributing scientist and supervisor to a team of polymer synthetic chemists. Responsible for leading the GelTex anti-obesity polymer chemistry program. Developed unique in vitro fat-binding assays to identify polymers capable of modifying the physical state of lipids in GI fluid. Invented novel soluble polycations that are well tolerated in the GI tract. This work led to a polymer drug later brought to human clinical studies by Peptimmune (GT-389-255). Appointed as lead scientist with project management responsibilities for a multidisciplinary program seeking to discover novel inhibitors of active phosphate uptake in the GI tract. Acted as primary liaison to biochemistry, DMPK and pharmacology groups and to external CROs.

Rochester, New York, Us

Performed fundamental research on image dye aggregation in solution and applied these findings to the design of photographic elements in which cyan image dyes are formed in a microcrystalline state, providing superior color reproduction. Conducted studies on photochemically induced image dye decomposition and the stabilization of image dyes using a variety of stabilizing agents. Performed research on novel antioxidants as preservatives in color developer solutions.

Pasadena, Ca, Us

Joint postdoc position with research groups of Prof. Robert Grubbs and Prof. Nate Lewis. Performed electrochemical characterization of a new group of soluble polyacetylenes derived from the transition metal catalyzed ring opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) of substituted cyclooctatetraenes.
