Summary

I am an innovative Synthetic Organic Chemist with a PhD in organic synthesis and extensive experience in drug substance process development. My expertise spans "green" chemistry principles, mechanochemical approaches, and modern analytical techniques to optimize API synthesis and discover novel compounds. I am passionate about contributing to the development of innovative drug manufacturing processes and am particularly drawn to Novo Nordisk's commitment to collaboration and improving patient care. I am excited about the opportunity to join your dynamic Late-Stage Chemical Process Development team, where I can further develop my scientific expertise while working on meaningful projects that have a real impact
