Scott T. Harrison
Principal Scientist
Merck
I grew up in Michigan and attended the University of Michigan for my undergraduate training where I received a B.S. in Chemistry and Biochemistry. I then moved on to obtain a PhD from the Scripps research institute with an emphasis on natural product total synthesis. I joined Merck in 2006, where I applied parallel chemistry technologies to several neuroscience programs including COMT and our beta-amyloid PET tracer effort which culminated in the discovery of MK-3328. Since 2011, I've been supporting early discovery from our Cheminformatics group where I promote the development of scientist-facing self-service tools that facilitate drug design, chemical synthesis, and biological testing.
