David Allen:  

aid chemists and improve lab efficiency. These included automated resin processing systems for solid phase chemistry, new extraction and isolation techniques, and barcode tracking procedures for lab reagents and supplies. Invented new liquid detection system to validate robotic liquid transfers Developed containerized chemistry concept to improve resin handling for solid phase chemistry through automatic tracking of reactions and minimizing reagent use. This included an automated reaction processor to manipulate reagents and wash solutions. Developed automation systems using Tecan, Zymark, and Nimbl equipment to perform synthesis for chemical library generation. Developed analytical methods for raw materials, solid dose, and suspensions including NIR, Dissolution (USP apparatus II and IV), Particle Size, Assay, and Content Uniformity testing. Integrated instruments (such as Agilent and Waters HPLC’s) to automation and data systems to improve lab efficiency. Connected automation systems to the Internet for remote access and control Participated in new hire process for staffing of development lab.
