PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

DuPont Crop Protection, Global Technology Research and Development Center at Stine-Haskell, Newark, Delaware

Senior E-fate Chemist/Scientist 2005-2016

Provided GLP support for the registration of DuPont agrochemicals. Prepared, monitored, and issued nearly 300 study reports for environmental safety assessments. Contributed to US and global registration and renewal for over 12 agrochemicals such as chlorantraniliprole, cyantraniliprole, penthiopyrad, oxathiapiprolin, indoxacarb, rimsulforn, nicosulforn, azimsulfuron, bromacil and so on.

Determined registration requirements and data gaps of agrichemicals based on most updated registration guidelines and through meetings with regulatory personnel. Defined unique study program for agrichemicals development and registration.

Helped prepare contract documents and negotiated terms with alliance partners for placement of DuPont contract studies.

Implemented and guided required GLP lab and field studies such as physical-chemical properties, adsorption/desorption, metabolism, abiotic, biotic, aerobic, anaerobic degradation, and field dissipation of DuPont agrochemicals and their metabolites covering a variety of chemical properties.

Monitored study progression and solved technical issues especially method development/validation and metabolite elucidation and identification through timely communication, multiple laboratory collaboration and onsite visit.

Served as global products expert on multiple products expert teams, I am fully responsible in physical-chemical properties, E-fate, field dissipation sessions, and related end-points development. Reviewed, authored and approved study reports for product registration; prepared sections for EU dossiers.

Proficiencies include collaboration with cross-functional teams, laboratories, contractors, alliance partners for problem solving in a multi-disciplined approach

Expertise on interacting directly with global regulatory agencies for nearly 11 years, fully understand their needs and know how to address their concerns for product registration. For example, by properly answering the regulators’ challenged questions, many initially required studies were waived and huge costs were saved for the company; designed unique studies such as outdoor water-sediment experiment to address unidentified metabolites concerns

Authorized SOPs and reviewed and revised relevant EPA, OECD, and EU guidelines
