Pre-clinical drug testing and clinical data analysis along with protein docking experiments have led to my gaining extensive knowledge of the process, procedures, and problems associated with testing new compounds.


I worked heavily in a quality pedigree in pharmacology, drug discovery, docking, and machine learning for pre-clinical and clinical drugs, including assisting with reuse of compounds for the COVID-19 pandemic. From in silico docking design to pre-clinical assay design and decision making of moving forward with clinical trials, I can help your company/lab get and stay on a solid path.
