Pharmaceutical scientist interested in creative ways to speed up drug development. Over 40 years of pharmaceutical research and development experience. Prior to founding PharmaDirections in 2003 and InstantGMP in 2004, I held executive positions in biotech companies and contract research organizations like Nobex Corporation (Executive Director) Magellan Laboratories (VP) and AAI (VP).

For the first 25 years of my career I managed ethical and OTC pharmaceutical R&D groups at SmithKline Beecham’s (World Wide R&D Head), Johnson & Johnson (Manager of a biotechnology research group), Berlex (managed Analytical R&D and formulation development programs) and Ciba-Geigy (various positions from Formulation Technician to Senior Scientist/Supervisor in Biopharmaceutics and Preformulation Laboratories).

My scientific efforts resulted in over 45 scientific works in the areas of biopharmaceutics, automation and protein product development. I am the inventor on 17 issued and published patents in the areas of oral protein formulations, recombinant protein processes, drug delivery technologies, sustained release products, and electronic quality and manufacturing systems.
