I joined the small molecule process chemistry group in 2010 after a postdoctoral stint with Prof. Stephen Buchwald at MIT. My current role includes leading team efforts developing efficient and robust chemical processes to supply the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) for clinical studies and building internal technology platforms in the area of high-throughput experimentation (HTE), transition-metal catalysis, and continuous flow chemistry.
