Paul was a member of the  Mahajan Lab as a postdoctoral research fellow and member of the ChEM-H Medicinal Chemistry Knowledge Center in 2018. He completed his Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry from Temple University in 2015 and in 2016 continued his studies at the California Institute of Technology. Paul was awarded an NIH Postdoctoral Fellowship in 2017 to pursue small molecule inhibitors of DNA-protein binding. Paul was developing small molecule protease inhibitors for the treatment of Autosomal Dominant Neovascular Inflammatory Vitreoretinal (ADNIV).  His research interests include the development of chemical tools and therapeutics for the study of aberrant cellular signaling in muscular and neurological disease.
