Biography

I am a Monash and Newcastle University Research Fellow who develops pharmacological tools and small-molecule drugs to support drug discovery research. I obtained a PhD in Medicinal Chemistry from Monash University, in addition to a Bachelor and Masters in Chemistry at the University of Applied Sciences Northwestern Switzerland and the University of Basel, respectively. Prior to my academic career, I completed an apprenticeship as a chemical lab-technician and has experience working in industrial and government organisations.
