Gregory Roth's Research Focus
Cancer, Cardiovascular Diseases, Inflammatory/Autoimmune Disease, Metabolic Diseases, Aging-Related Diseases, Neurodegenerative and Neuromuscular Diseases
Gregory P. Roth, Ph.D., Associate Professor and Director of Medicinal Chemistry at Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute at Lake Nona, has 23 years of post-graduate pharmaceutical industry leadership experience and scientific accomplishments in the areas of Process Research, Combinatorial Chemistry and Medicinal Chemistry. Dr. Roth’s research interests focus on advancing novel synthetic methods and technologies for the generation of compound screening libraries based on natural product motifs.
Dr. Roth’s current work centers on the discovery of new chemical 'tools' in the areas of chemical biology and medicinal chemistry designed to answer significant biochemical questions in disease areas of unmet medical need. Currently, Dr. Roth’s lab is identifying and exploring the synthesis of enhanced analogs of several newly discovered natural product molecules which demonstrate properties that may be beneficial to the treatment of specific cancer types.
About Gregory Roth
Experience
Gregory P. Roth, Ph.D., holds 16 patents awarded or pending and has authored more than 60 research papers. Dr. Roth earned graduate degree in Chemistry at Colorado State University in 1988 under the direction of the late Professor A.I. Meyers. Dr. Roth also holds a Bachelor of Science (1979) and a Master of Science (1984) in Chemistry achieved at the State University of New York College at Fredonia in 1984. Prior to joining Sanford-Burnham in 2007 as an academic research investigator, Dr. Roth had over 20 years of pharmaceutical industry leadership and has contributed to drug discovery and development research programs at Bristol-Myers Squibb, Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals and the Abbott Bioresearch Center. He is also a co-founder of Electra Pharmaceuticals, an emerging biotechnology company that is advancing natural products as therapeutics in the area of neurodegenerative disease.
