Meet Phil S. Baran
Phil Baran has received numerous awards and accolades for his contributions to both industry and academia. His ambition is to contribute to the development of organic chemistry by educating students, inventing new tools and strategies, and using these new technologies in the pharmaceutical space to accelerate the development of small and large molecule medicines. “The use of biologics and oligonucleotide based therapies will continue to grow in popularity (for good reason) but, when the same outcome can be achieved using orally bioavailable small molecule therapies, those are almost always preferable from the standpoint of cost, simplicity, and worldwide availability.”
