Neal Sach

Biography:

In 1995 Neal began his career at Rhone-Poulenc Agriculture in the UK as a school leaver training four days a week as a Discovery Synthetic Chemist whilst studying Chemistry at the University of Hertfordshire on a day-release program. In 1998 he switched fields and joined Process Chemistry at Pfizer Sandwich, becoming the first member of the high-throughput reaction optimization group. Over the next decade the application of technology to process chemistry become increasingly valuable and Neal eventually headed up a group of five scientists, before, in 2007, he switched divisions within Pfizer and moved to Discovery Chemistry in San Diego. Neal currently applies miniaturized high-throughput screening technologies, including flow technology, to solving chemical problems in the discovery portfolio.
