      I conducted research on next generation stapled peptides designed to potentially serve as a new class of therapeutics. Responsibilities included performing solid-phase peptide synthesis and stapling through ring-closing metathesis, peptide purification, and analysis of alpha-helical content of stapled peptides.

      At AstraZeneca, I joined the Infection Chemistry team where I conducted a series of chemical reactions including the Suzuki coupling, reductive amination, Michael-type additions, nucleophilic aromatic substitutions, as well as intramolecular cyclization reactions, oxidations, and saponification reactions. In addition, the project enabled me to acquire skills in using a variety of instrumentation including the HPLC-MS, UPLC-MS, and the NMR.

      During my undergraduate research, I studied hydroamination reactions of alkynes using titanium catalysts and catalyst development. In this endeavor, I acquired the skills to independently perform organic/organometallic syntheses, catalytic chemical reactions, and standard spectrochemical analysis including conducting and interpreting an array of spectroscopic experiments: 1H and 13C NMR standard 1D and 2D NMR, GC-MS (including database matching) and IR spectroscopy. ´ During my undergraduate research, I studied hydroamination reactions of alkynes using titanium catalysts and catalyst development.
