About me
I have a PhD in Chemistry from Montana State University, where I worked across the Chemistry and Biological Engineering departments. I’m currently a postdoc in Medicinal Chemistry at the Helmholtz Institute for Pharmaceutical Research. My research focuses on developing new therapeutic compounds, and I’m passionate about bridging the gap between fundamental science and real-world applications. After several years in academic research, I’m now looking to transition into industry, where I’m excited to apply my scientific expertise and collaborative approach to real-world challenges in the life sciences sector.
