Summary

Passionate R&D scientist with a combination of academic molecular biology and industry formulation experience to provide an expert understanding of molecular interactions and kinetics. Proven track record of adapting to any task with or without supporting members to solve typical development obstacles using strong scientific fundamentals. The field of formulation science has contributed even further understanding of surfactant and polymer chemsitries that build upon a strong molecular biological foundation. I am seeking an opportunity to bring this knowledge back into my true passion area of protein expression studies.
