I’m a medicinal chemist with strong organic chemistry and pharmacology background. I have a Ph.D. in Medicinal Chemistry from University of Mississippi along with over 10 years of experience in small molecule lead optimization and drug discovery of novel receptor targets. I’m technically strong in lead optimization, structure activity development employing multi-step organic synthesis. Currently I’m also working on an independent project as a Principal Investigator to develop selective small molecule ligands of novel G-protein coupled receptor.
