Career Profile
My journey has been marked by a passion for chemistry, a commitment to innovation, and a deep respect for the potential of both pharmaceutical and natural products in improving human health and focusing on the synthesis and evaluation of novel compounds for therapeutic use. Today, I work in both academic and industry settings, where I conduct research, mentor students, and contribute to projects that aim to develop safer and more effective treatments. Along the way, I’ve published papers and participated in conferences, allowing me to share my findings and connect with other professionals in the field.
