An experienced medicinal chemist and drug hunter with an emphasis on leading multi-disciplinary teams and fostering close collaboration to realize project milestones on projects spanning all phases of the drug discovery pipeline, from hit-ID to candidate nomination. Often working at the interface of medicinal chemistry, computational chemistry and assay biology, I have a proven track record of driving project success across a wide range of therapeutic areas, including BRo5/degrader space and covalent drug discovery. Throughout my career I have built and managed high-performing teams of researchers, partnering closely with clients to dictate strategy, managed external CROs and delivered high-level presentations to key stakeholders. I am passionate about mentoring and developing the next generation of scientists and instilling a culture of scientific curiosity, open and honest communication and ensuring all team members are valued and fully invested in the project plan. Key skills: - Medicinal chemistry strategy and project leadership - Structure-based and data-driven drug design - Managing multi-disciplinary project teams - Working closely with DMPK specialists - Coordinating external collaborators and overseas CROs I'm always looking to connect with fellow researchers, past, present and future collaborators and leaders in the drug discovery landscape!
