Mathías Sánchez
@mathassnchez
I’m a pharmaceutical scientist blending drug-delivery nanotechnology and GMP quality experience to drive pharmaceutical R&D.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I combine my Ph.D. training in drug delivery and nanotechnology with “5+ years of industry experience” across quality control, quality assurance, and GMP manufacturing. My hands-on work spans “nanoparticle and recombinant-protein design,” formulation, analytical characterization, and regulated production, with a strong focus on building end-to-end platforms for targeted delivery.
At Temple University, I lead research on multiligand gold nanoparticles for targeted, pH-sensitive delivery of doxorubicin, designing and synthesizing nanoparticle systems and optimizing PK/PD profiles through ligand conjugation and PEGylation. I’ve also brought cross-industry experience from Merck Discovery Biologics (hybridoma workflows, binding characterization, Cytomine screening, and microfluidics), and I mentor multiple researchers while maintaining strong regulatory discipline through cGMP/GLP practices and 21 CFR Part 11 compliance. I’m now seeking a research scientist role in pharmaceutical R&D.
Experience
Work history, roles, and key accomplishments
Conducts Ph.D. research on multiligand gold nanoparticles for targeted, pH-sensitive doxorubicin delivery to hypoxic ovarian cancer and builds a recombinant carbonic anhydrase platform from plasmid design through expression, refolding, purification, and protein characterization. Mentors PharmD/undergraduate researchers on protein expression and nanoparticle synthesis.
Supports Discovery Biologics antibody work by applying hybridoma workflows to identify candidate antibodies and performing binding characterization using FRET and complementary binding assays. Runs single-cell workflows and contributes to data summaries for lead selection discussions.
