1st post #introduction. Former academic PI that moved to #Amgen to lead the Induced Proximity Platform (IPP). IPP tackles undruggabke disease targets with innovative Proximity Biology. In addition, I’m passionate about training the next generation of scientists and lead the #Amgen Postdoctoral Fellows Program. #TPD #Ubiquitin #Inducedproximity #degradation #undruggables #RNA #biotech #pharma #innovation #Science #postdoc #industry

Mapping of non-catalytic drug binding pockets on the structure of protein-modifying enzymes identifies ligands for induced proximity PTM strategies #inducedproximity #PFEColleague https://bit.ly/3O2N36a

Time for my #introductionpost!

I'm a Ph.D. organic chemist by training and have been working in the pharmaceutical industry for 28 years. I currently lead a diverse platform medicinal chemistry group at Pfizer in Groton tasked with developing new strategies for first-in-class targets #inducedproximity #covalentfirst #vaccine and #adjuvant design. I also love all things #cycling and have a passion for music from the 70s (Philly Soul, Funk, Yacht Rock)

Hello mastodon community! A brief intro: I’m a scientist in Eric Fischer’s lab and the Center for Protein Degradation at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute excited about #targetedproteindegradation #ChemicalBiology and #InducedProximity I’m looking forward to this new experience! #Mastodon
