About me
I am a medicinal chemist with a PhD in organic chemistry. I have worked in both academic and industrial settings doing teaching, basic research and applied research mostly in the area of drug discovery.

I currently work for a small company that collaborates with academic labs to pursue drug discovery research and to help them secure funding, such as SBIR grants, that would be otherwise unavailable to them.

I have been actively editing Wikipedia for more than ten years. I try to improve Wikipedia by creating, updating, correcting, organizing, and copyediting articles related to organic chemistry, particularly heterocyclic compounds and natural organic compounds. To get a better idea of my interests, just take a look at some of the articles I have started or this list of the most recent of the ~8000 chemical structure images I have uploaded, or see my contributions.

With my wife and kids, I live in suburban Pennsylvania.

Annotated illustration of a female Culex pipiens mosquito
Mosquitoes (Culicidae) are a family of more than 3,700 species of flies found throughout most of the world. Both sexes feed on nectar, but females of many species also drink blood, using specialised mouthparts to pierce their hosts' skin. Mosquitoes undergo four life stages: egg, larva, pupa and adult, with the first three being largely aquatic. Some mosquito species transmit diseases including malaria, yellow fever and dengue fever, causing more than a million human deaths annually. Mosquitoes also serve as pollinators and as food for other animals. This annotated illustration shows the major body parts of a female mosquito of the species Culex pipiens, the common house mosquito. Its slender body is divided into three sections: the head, the thorax and the abdomen, and it has a pair of narrow wings and six long, jointed legs. The head bears two compound eyes, a pair of antennae, and an elongated proboscis adapted for piercing skin and sucking blood.Illustration credit: Mariana Ruiz Villarreal
