Shawn W.

Expert Small Molecule Analytical Lead | 25+ Years Experience I help pharmaceutical startups and biotechnology teams navigate the "messy" phase of early-stage R&D. As the founder of Scout Scientific LLC, I provide the technical agility and senior-level troubleshooting that large, high-volume CROs often deprioritize. How I support your R&D: - Method Development: Custom HPLC (UV/MS) and LC-MS method design, optimization, and troubleshooting. - Impurity Scouting: Identifying and tracking unknown degradation products in complex small molecules. - Stability & Formulation: Designing stability-indicating protocols and testing early-stage formulation samples. - CRO Oversight: Independent verification and "parallel testing" to ensure your primary lab's data is accurate and timely. Technical Expertise: Waters Alliance HPLC/MS, Karl Fischer (Moisture Analysis), Dissolution Testing, and Forced Degradation studies. I provide high-integrity data with the rapid turnaround a startup environment demands. Let’s connect to discuss your specific analytical hurdles.
