Professional Experience
Dr. Miner’s graduate research in organic chemistry focused on the development of new chemical methods for the synthesis of hydroperoxides and endocyclic peroxides using molecular oxygen as a source of oxygen atoms. Dr. Miner then used these newly discovered methods for the synthesis of biologically active small molecules as potential pharmaceutical agents. He has also conducted research in the field of supramolecular chemistry, exploring the host-guest relationships between synthetic lectins and various saccharides. As a result of his graduate work, Dr. Miner is also well-versed in a number of analytical techniques used in the pharmaceutical industry.
