Working as part of the Alzheimer's Research UK Oxford Drug Discovery Institute (ARUK ODDI)

Provided synthetic organic chemistry support for Eli Lilly and Elanco projects.- Designed and implemented robust multistep routes to requested targets.- Synthesised, purified, and fully characterised compounds to meet strict purity requirements.- Produced detailed reports of experiments using an electronic lab notebook.- Worked as part of a cohesive team to deliver compounds within tight deadlines.- Presented work to clients through regular teleconferences and face-to-face meetings.

Synthesised small, drug-like molecules for a project within the Epigenetics DPU.- Efficiently carried out organic reactions on milligram to multigram scales.- Characterised and purified compounds using modern analytical and preparative techniques.- Worked to independently solve any problems, and improve synthetic routes.- Interpreted structure-activity relationships to further the design of molecules. - Regularly presented work at team meetings.

Worked as part of the Analytical Development team responsible for a number of inhaled drugs.- Undertook a research project focussed on the use of core-shell technology in HPLC columns.- Produced a report to advise on future column selection for analytical methods.- Contributed to the team’s day-to-day lab work carried out in a GMP environment.

Responsible for proofreading and applying author corrections to journal articles.- Checked each article to ensure they followed the RSC’s house style.- Used scientific knowledge to make decisions regarding the alteration of content after peer review.- Liaised with authors directly and in a professional manner to fix any potential issues.
