Work History
Doctoral assistant
Swiss Federal Institute of Technology-Lausanne (EPFL)
2020.03 - 2024.04
- Developed novel and robust methods for automated synthesis (CEM Multipep SPPS platform), analysis (LC-MS) and late-stage nanoscale diversification of combinatorial peptide libraries, with more than 20,000 distinct compounds
- Co-inventor in patent covering these technologies, which are now routinely used by spin-off company
- Established biochemical assays (TR-FRET, FP, kinetic)
- Identified novel biologically active compounds by high-throughput screening, routinely using automated liquid handling (Access Workstation, ECHO acoustic liquid handling, Certus Flex).
- Mentored Master students to achieve impactful scientific results
Medicinal Chemistry Intern
F. Hoffmann - La Roche AG
2018.09 - 2019.09
- Planned and independently performed multi-step synthesis and chromatographic purification of several small molecules and PROTACs
- Monitored reaction progression and characterized products by LC-MS and NMR
- Recorded all experimental data in ELN system with perfect precision, enabling easy replication for others
- Analyzed activity (SAR) and ADMET data from biological assays, and participated in structural optimization of lead compounds for an oncology-related project.
Student researcher
Hungarian Academy of Sciences
2017.07 - 2020.01
- Identified novel inhibitors of an enzyme involved in haematologic malignancies (SETD2) by designing and conducting Virtual Screening campaign with more than 5 million compounds (Schrödinger, KNIME)
Intern
Gedeon Richter Plc.
