Biography:

I am passionate about all aspects of drug discovery, from the science and biochemistry to the intricacies of small molecules. My focus is on drug repurposing of known compounds to discover novel treatment options for neglected diseases, particularly tuberculosis. This involves studying the mechanisms of candidate action leading to the biotransformation of small molecules to create new and complex chemical scaffolds with therapeutic potential.
