Zoltán Tímár

Biography

Zoltán Timár graduated with a degree in organic chemistry from Szeged (1995). As a result of academic pre- and postdoctoral research in the UK (Bristol University, 1998-1999), France (École Nationale Superieure de Chimie de Paris, 2000), and in the US (University of Colorado at Boulder, 2004-2005) in medicinal chemistry, applying synthetic organic and analytical chemistry techniques, Dr Tímár has authored numerous publications, as well as filed and issued patent applications. During this period Dr. Timár developed an interest in commercializing scientific research methods and products, and in 2007 joined the Nucleic Acid Solutions Division of Agilent Technologies in Boulder, Colorado as an expert scientist. This provided the opportunity to immerse in the fields of analytical sciences, GxP quality and commercialization of intellectual property, and resulted in the worldwide commercialization of chemical compounds for use in ribonucleic acid automated synthesis, as well as the development of several methodologies to utilize TC-RNA phosphoramidites to synthesize natural and modified short- and long-chain RNA molecules. Dr. Timár also developed analytical methodologies and software to analyze the identity, purity and sequence of oligonucleotides still currently being used for analytical services by Agilent. The change from organic synthesis to analytical chemistry, and then to business was of key importance for Dr. Timár’s career, and in 2012 he was hired by Solvo Biotechnology as Head of the Bioanalytical Laboratory, leading a team of five scientists, and overseeing several hundred successful HPLC-MS/MS method developments. Under his leadership, Solvo analytical services strives to continuously develop by providing up-to-date training for employees, applying best laboratory practices and instrumentation, and aiming to be a top quality, highly productive and dependable provider for Solvo customers all over the world. Dr. Timár holds a PhD. (summa cum laude) in Organic Chemistry, awarded by Szeged University in 2000.
