As a researcher I have worked on Medicinal chemistry projects targeting various diseases. I have also worked on Natural products chemistry, analyzing biological activity of medicinal plants on various infectious diseases. I have about 9 years of experience working in research lab on various projects. I\'m looking forward to associate with an organization where there is scope and opportunity to contribute my knowledge and technical skills for development of organization.\r\nMy High Impact skills\r\n• Organic synthesis \r\n• Multi-step synthesis \r\n• Process chemistry (milligram to multi gram scale reactions)\r\n• Microwave assisted synthesis\r\n• Natural products chemistry\r\n• Flash chromatography\r\n• Gas chromatography/Gas chromatography Mass spectrometry (GC-MS)\r\n• Liquid chromatography/Liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS)\r\n• Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) (1D/2D NMR)\r\n• FT-IR Spectroscopy\r\n• Molecular Docking (Auto Dock, Swiss Dock)\r\n• Drug Design\r\n• Structure Activity Relationship (SAR)\r\n• Protein-ligand interactions\r\n• High Performance Liquid Chromatography\r\n• Saturation Transfer Difference (STD) NMR\r\n• Lab Safety\r\n• Data analysis \r\nBackground \r\nI have B.S in pharmaceutical science and M.S in Chemistry with Organic chemistry as major. I’m Doctoral candidate at Northern Illinois University. I’m currently working on medicinal chemistry research projects targeting various diseases. I have published two articles on use of Natural products to target infectious diseases. I also teach undergraduate lab courses for organic chemistry. \r\nFeel free to connect with me on LinkedIn and reach me at the following email address: chaitanyakondam@gmail.com
