I have 23 years of experience, and specialize in the field of pharmaceuticals with specific knowledge in the areas of metabolic diseases, antivirals and ophthamology. I have published on such topics as natural products synthesis, antidiabetics and antivirals. The ability to be cognizant of all of the activities that occur from discovery through development has allowed my lab and I to intertwine new chemistry into our program(s) in such a fashion that molecule and method converges to facilitate development while keep us fresh scientifically and allowing us to develop new chemistry.
