Presented By: Rackham Graduate School
Alumni Insights Lunch: Working in a Government Lab
Please join us for lunch and a career conversation with Rackham alum, Victor Marquez. Dr. Marquez graduated with his Ph.D. in Medicinal Chemistry in 1970 and worked for the National Cancer Institute (NCI) for one year of postdoctoral training. He then returned to his home country of Venezuela for five years before rejoining the NCI as a visiting scientist in 1977. He was awarded tenure as a principle investigator in 1987 and became a lab chief in 2001. Dr. Marquez uses nucleoside chemistry and synthetic organic chemistry to design and discover antitumor and antiviral agents. During his fellowship with the National Institutes of Health in the early 70s, his work contributed to the design of the active brain antitumor agent, spiromustine. Dr. Marquez currently has more than 400 publications and holds 29 U.S. patents. Dr. Marquez will share research advice with current graduate students, as well as valuable lessons learned along the way.
