I have 33 years of experience, and specialize in the field of medicinal chemistry with specific knowledge in the areas of nucleoside chemistry, nucleotide chemistry and heterocyclic chemistry. I have published on such topics as nucleosides as antivirals, nucleotides as GPCR agonists and synthesis of nucleotides. I have progressed from a BS bench chemist through director of chemistry to principal investigator to starting my own consulting firm resulting in being awarded the Technical Achievement in Organic Chemistry prize by the ACS.
