Hauptbeschreibung
Dr. Valiulin obtained his dual B.S. and M.S. in Organic Chemistry at Lomonosov Moscow State

University - MSU (Russia, Moscow). MSU is one of the oldest established and most competitive

universities in the country. He then moved across the ocean to the United States where he earned

a Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry at the University of Denver. Afterward, he completed two

postdoctoral fellowships, one with Professor K. C. Nicolaou at the Scripps Research Institute in

La Jolla, California, and another with Professor M. G. Finn at the Georgia Institute of Technology

in Atlanta, Georgia. His industrial career started in Boston, Massachusetts where he joined the

formulation development group in a medium-sized biopharmaceutical company. He gained

experience in drug development and early discovery with an emphasis on physical organic

chemistry, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), formulation development techniques, and

materials science before joining the medicinal chemistry group as a synthetic chemist. After six

years working in a biotech hub on the East Coast, he continues his career path as an organic chemist

in San Diego.

In the course of his career, he has published over twenty research and review articles and is a coinventor on numerous patents. As a Ph.D. scientist, he believes in staying engaged with the

learning community, and draws inspiration through teaching and by making visually-engaging and

educational chemistry infographics, which he shares on The ChemInfoGraphic Blog:
