Tony Mete

MA PhD FRSC

I am an independent Medicinal Chemistry and Drug Discovery consultant with over 25 years of R&D experience in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and crop protection sector.

I provide modern drug design advice to clients’ pre-clinical drug discovery projects during Lead Identification (LI), Lead Optimisation (LO) and Candidate Selection (CD) phases. My expertise covers small molecule and peptide drugs delivered by the oral, inhaled or intravenous routes. I have also experience in structure based drug design.

I can work on a one-off consultancy basis or on a longer-term basis as part of a multidisciplinary project team.

I have experience in patent drafting and IP evaluation. I can also provide research project reviews and critiques and perform due diligence. I have an extensive network of contacts in the industry and can aid in the selection of the most appropriate CROs for clients.
