Ryan E. Quiñones has a background in organic chemistry. He received his B.S. in Chemistry, summa cum laude, from the University of Florida (2015) and his Ph.D. in Chemistry from The Scripps Research Institute (2021). At Scripps Research, Ryan worked with Dale Boger on 1,2,3-triazine methodology, exploring different modes of reactivity and addressing key questions regarding stereochemistry and reaction kinetics. Ryan’s industrial career began at 1859, a startup biotech with a proprietary microfluidics screening platform using solid-phase DNA-encoded libraries (DELs), where he was responsible for method development of chemistry for the company platform, requiring expertise with solid-phase combinatorial chemistry for high-throughput experimentation.
Outside of the lab, Ryan enjoys spending time outdoors enjoying what our wonderful earth has to offer, including the beach, hiking, fishing, and gardening. Although few things can beat a home-cooked meal and video game night with his wife.
