About Vini Patel
I’m a peptide chemist with experience in macrocyclic peptide synthesis, SPPS optimization, and analytical methods like HPLC and LC-MS. I enjoy solving hard synthesis problems, improving workflows, and blending experimental work with data-driven thinking from my computational background. I love learning, collaborating, and working on science that’s both challenging and creative. I’m currently exploring peptide chemistry and analytical R&D roles and always happy to connect with people in the biotech community.
